First, it's not exploitation. It can't be. It could only be exploitation if reddit were somehow planning to benefit from their implementations...

Did you miss the part where they're using this as a recruiting screen?

Did you miss the part of my sentence where I listed an example of what would qualify as actual exploitation?

Obviously I know they're using it as a recruiting screen. It's completely appropriate for them to do so.

The point is that having a ready-made recruiting screen is benefiting from the implementations.
