    Haven’t they had ads disguised as posts for years now?

        I remember them showing up in the mobile apps, before I discovered third party apps.

      Sort of. At least on old reddit, sponsored posts were in a light blue box. Now it sounds like they have a little gray “sponsored” somewhere on it.

      Steve doesn’t care as long as he can extract money before the repercussions hit. That’s why he didn’t care about alienating so many people that volunteered their time and energy, he’s counting on their being enough momentum to get through the IPO so he can steal take the money he thinks he’s entitled to… he doesn’t give a single shit what happens after because he won’t be there and will just blame everyone else.
