Steve "Spaz" Huffman has been trying to milk money out of the site that Alexis Ohanian, Aaron Swartz, and pigboy Steven Spaz kinda created collaborating with each other. Aaron was shoved out first by The Spaz, though one could claim rightfully so in that case since Aaron was basically done with the site, and had moved on to his next project, essentially leaving Alexis and Spaz in the lurch as neither of them understood the code that Aaron had written to make the site functional.
In many ways, the users made this possible. Most of us aren't users in this case. The users that make up the vast majority of the population don't give one thought to their own personal privacy, after all they have "nothing to hide," not knowing that they really need to hide almost all of their data.
If the users were to be educated about how much money the various companies like Reddit, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and almost every single other "disruptive tech company," has stolen from them, the socialist revolution would have started in the 1980s
