You're correct. Reddit is trying to "pull back" from that, because they're starting to realize without content creators, they wouldn't have a site, & if content creators aren't making money, they'll stop creating content unless they're a hobbyist. They're still extremely big on very, very clean sites, though, which is why imgur blew up so quickly over the past couple of years. One must also keep in mind that reddit's core userbase are very tech savvy individuals & usually more affluent and intelligent. So what works for marketing to the masses won't work for marketing on reddit.
