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.

I don't think they intended Reddit to be the literal front page of the internet when they created it.

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

I dunno. Maybe I'm just trying to rationalize what feels like the inevitable to me, but Reddit is always growing and we're now relevant politically and in the media more than ever in my opinion.
