Note that the common hypothesis is that there is a reason reddit is so urgently pushing through the API charges, why they are urgently trying to shut off the protest and why they are *particularly* urgent about shutting down the protest of setting subreddits to NSFW: That they consider doing an IPO in the near future.

They are likely pretty heavily interested in looking good to investors *right now*. > This is a commercial dispute nothing more and everyone that acts like a > crusader in this case is simply in a power trip. > I find this a strange stance, given that most of the people actually participating in the protest are unpaid volunteers.
