I think the motivation is to stop being reliant on advertising.

That's exactly what the entire post addresses. They'll continue to monitor it, but as of now, that's not what happens. Especially when mods can still track individual karma categories.

And these motivation is just as they stated. To make more money while reducing they're dependence on ads.

I feel like they're being super clear about all of this.
