I bet reddit paid for that article.
They probably paid for the title but the article isn't actually that peachy, I'd say its assessment is accurate. The Reddit sub protest is over, and technically spez got his way, but the platform has been damaged and may recover or may begin to die out and be replaced.

Stop! You're making me blush 🤭
100% Made the title and everything

I doubt it given the way the article ends- it suggests that while reddit's leadership got it's way, that the incident might still have damaged the platform's reputation and that in the long term reddit might not be successful in it's attempts to be profitable either.

Who needs an article when you have a headline and expert commentary in the comments?
