Yes, the people who built Reddit no longer run Reddit.

Actually, they're back.
They just have a lot more investor money they need to show returns on this time.

I meant this both literally and metaphorically. No one is the same person after 15 years, but sometimes the same principles remain. Maybe theirs haven't.
Further, I don't know how big the original team was, but I doubt the majority of the founders are still there. It is, largely, approximately, under different management.

Look at digg.com today... I can't say their shenanigans have played out all that well for them. Perhaps Reddit engineers should use this as a cautionary tale during UX design meetings.
The oldest and most stable online communities seem to have the slowest-changing interfaces.
