i am trying to be generally optimistic, but it seems pretty likely that Conde Nast is going to eventually want to monetize the reddit community in ways that no one will like. without some sort of payoff at the end of the road, i can't imagine why they'd agree to additional hires.

CN could start by helping reddit sell their banner ad inventory... it's got to be less than 1% of the time that I see a real ad, rather than reddit self-promotions or something for another CN property running in that slot.

"Something for another CN property" could well be the payoff.

True although the number of those seems to be, if anything, decreasing.
