    I actually think Google has a long term plan to buyout Reddit. Google Groups failed miserably several years ago, so Google would LOVE to own a mature social media platform.

    The former, despised owner gets to cash out. And Forbes and WSJ will write glowing articles about how Google “saved” Reddit. (Narrator: what’s left of Reddit will get unbelievably sh*tty. And then it will die, like Google Groups).
