hmmm, "crushed" seems a bit strong ...

... "fumbled incompetently for weeks" might be more accurate.

I think a desperate Reddit paid for this puff-piece.

The article is fairly hostile to Reddit, I'd say. Consider this excerpt:

> As Reddit flexes its control, it’s playing a risky game ahead of its long-gestating IPO. Even though many third-party apps will likely go away, Reddit’s attitude toward the users that have made it into the giant that it is could harm the platform more than any apps ever did.
