I think an important part of the story is how he was very obviously getting deals from companies to use reddit to advertise their products. Remember when he just posted the netflix logo animation?
I was trying to find some history of that. I recalled him getting monetary compensation for posting (which is what I was trying to allude to with "personal gain") but I couldn't find any specifics. I even kinda think his personal friendship with Alexis had to do with Alexis getting some of the money from advertisers directly in the whole scuzzy affair
