Very well said.
You can do it *with* us, by keeping mods in the loop, offering guidance about how you wish them to react when efforts to monetize the site overlap with their subreddits (i.e., ads as you mentioned with the NSFW stuff, brilliant idea), or it can happen by forcing the site to go against the grain of the community and its traditions.
Users *want* reddit to succeed, or we wouldn't be here at all. Mods can be a great ally in assuring that everyone attains their goals. But not if we're kept in the dark and expected to adapt and keep up to every change or 'feature' implemented seemingly on a whim with little directive and less followup support.
There's nothing here!
