If you wanna focus on that part then the second part of my comment still stands. Reddit can't survive without the work of unpaid moderators and saying that it was a mistake to give the users freedom is kinda stupid. The whole point of Reddit is that users have freedom, remove that and Reddit doesn't work anymore.
Not having the ability to have a private subreddit would affect very little for the absolute majority of users. Actually - what is even the point of a private subreddit? Private messaging has existed forever.
Anyway, I digress. This article feels to have been spawned into existence purely because the authors had nothing better to do with their lives.
