    Worse, I don’t think it’s desperation. I think the senior leadership genuinely sees this as a good idea. That implies they view reddit no longer as a series of communities that organically develop and more as a social network that should pursue reach and “quality” content.

    To me, that’s way worse than desperation. That’s like the exact opposite of what reddit was stated to be when I first joined.
