    Can’t maximize profits if enough people jump ship. I dunno if that’ll happen though, if this ends up being a Digg moment for the larger Reddit community.

      I hope that this becomes a Digg moment, but I don’t think that it will - odds are that they already predicted that some users will leave, and the amount of users leaving will be still small enough to make the move profitable.
