I can confirm this is probably happening because some of their staff are leaky leaky among certain groups. Unless they cancel which I doubt.
I have suspicions that it might even be crypto related, they actively pursued a reddit blockchain thing at one point in the past before sacking the main person responsible halfway through the job with 1 week notice.
Predictions on how this turns out?
It'll fail. Like all previous Reddit ventures. I hear their ads are bullshit too, with none of the reach they claim. Something Facebook have been guilty of in the past too
