Moderators and content creators. The majority of Reddit users are lurkers. They never contribute anything, they don’t even comment.

The people who post all the links, all the pictures, all the text posts, all the most valuable comments (as opposed to the drive-by meme comments), these are the people most pissed off at Reddit. When Reddit loses them they will have nothing left.

All those lurker eyeballs they want to monetize will leave because they have nothing to look at.
