      Exactly. Billionairs look out for themselves first and foremost. They try to maximise their profit.

      Musk wants to push more people to pay for verified. The reddit board (not only Spez) wants people to download their app to make it seem like their growing right before their IPO, while simultaneously forcing more ad views. Probably downloading the app also lets them track a lot of extra data about you as well.

      No conspiracy needed to explain all this.
