I also read it! Couldn't agree more with your last paragraph. Like @flybynightpotato said, Reddit is going to keep chugging along and become exactly what they want it to be. Those of us who didn't like the direction it was going have moved on and are probably better off for it. Personally, I didn't participate much on Reddit because it felt like whispering at a rave. The smaller community here just feels a little more intimate and friendly, and I feel that I'm actually able to converse with others rather than shout into the void.
