Well, capitalism is about choices. There are a multiple choices reddit could make, and there are multiple choices reddit users can make.

This is a fairly classic case of "you aren't the customer, you're the product", but that isn't the only way capitalism works.

This is capitalism and greed and disdain for the user.

I don't know if that will kill or materially damage reddit, but that combo kills plenty of regular businesses. (Salient difference is probably that user != customer, as with many internet businesses.)
