Yeah, he is doing everything that contradict what he said or set out to do just to make quick bucks and maybe so that he can pull the CEO->CEO->CEO route like many past CEOs after successfully IPO reddit. If that ever happens, what happen to reddit is no longer his concern, that's why he didn't give anything a fuck to achieve that goal.
IMO, reddit have 4 main components:
Any user can be a combination of above when they visit different parts of the reddit, but what spez pissed off most are the "mods/active" aligned users. (if I category my reddit profile, I am like 0.5% creator, 29.5% active, 70% passive. )
Simply put, reddit won't survive with just creator and passive consumer, the community like features(asking questions/sharing tips) are essential for a sub to survive. It's not going to implode and snap away, just slowly become a bot create/bot comment/bot mod/bot upvotes farm.
