I strongly suspect Reddit shareholders want to IPO and cash out with no regard for what happens to the company afterward. That means pumping up metrics like app installs and ad impressions without regard to the long-term impact. They probably underestimated the speed and severity of the backlash.
Best way to punish these creeps is to shove their precious IPO to the curb – hit 'em where it hurts. I for one haven’t logged into Reddit since the SNAFU began, between IRC and BLF and Lemmy (in that order) I have all the fun I need, and Reddit be damned.
