No, but I think after the "AMA" (more like "ask the exact questions we want quotes for in articles"), it's been fairly clear that they're not changing course come Hell or high water. It's about profit by any means necessary now, or Reddit absolutely will get shut down. Either they make the IPO or the switch flips and it's gone. Ad conversions on Reddit are ridiculously low - even impressions are low due to a common culture of adblock use on Reddit. Any branded content gets ignored, even in communities like buyitforlife. They're pulling out all stops and monetizing literally anything they can.
This ad-unfriendly shitposting isn't going to make them reverse anything but the position of the power switch on the servers from 'on' to 'off'. I think people need to recognize that.
