That subreddit was started after the acquisition. In fact, every subreddit was, because user created subreddits were paid for by Conde Nast. As was self posts and pretty much every major innovation.
It was after they brought in outside investors that they were pressured to monetize.

Reddit itself didn't exist in the early 2000s wtf is this
/r/darknetplan itself is from late 2010
You're just bullshitting wtf
These are verifiable facts (go to /r/darknetplan and cmd-f for "community for" and then select that text).

I would have said the exact opposite. The Reddit community was destroyed. People no longer recommend Reddit for interesting discussions or speak excitedly about its communities. Conde Nast monetized and changed Reddit, recouping their investment, and now it's hard to find people who have good things to say about it.
Consider e.g. /r/darknetplan or similar topic focused subreddit a that were thriving in the early 2000s - all graveyards today. Those people are on Discord now.
