Im not sure. I feel Reddit does deserve to be profitable. The bad choice they made was how they went about it. I feel there were a couple reasonable paths to profitability. But charging app makers for api access didnt seem like a good one.
It might have stuck a chord with some users, but I think overall it would have been net positive for Reddit and the narrative from leadership much more palatable
