They could grow the website just fine - it was growing the advertising (read: profits) that is the problem.

And you'll know the death-knell for reddit is here when they crack down on the porn.

No, it wasn't just about advertising. Some types of content (piracy, child porn, etc) would get them in actual legal trouble

that falls under illegal content in the US which they never didn't remove. Maybe not piracy but there's plenty of piracy subreddits last I checked. What made them start changing things iirc was the backlash over the Icloud(?) celebrity nude leaks.
