To an extent I think they need to be cut a little slack on things like this. I don't think they intended Reddit to be the literal front page of the internet when they created it. I'd be thrilled to have an idealistic Reddit, but I don't know if it's in the cards right now.

Why? The change of heart is clear as day especially considering the number of times the similar claim has been repeated as finely collected in the parent comment. They need to give an explanation as to why, even though we know the very likely explanation which is money/advertising. /u/spez however is vehemently denying this explanation so he needs to offer a different one on what has actually caused Reddit to suddenly shift away from this clear stance formerly held.

Even in 2012 Reddit was already hugely popular with millions of users.
