How many is a "few"? Many news organizations, from the national outlets to local places, use national and state FOIA requests to report on stories.

What "bad PR"? They easily survived requiring accounts to view old.reddit.com. Moving from one interface to another won't result in as big of a backlash as the API changes.

Reddit isn't "stuck." The moment all the features they want in the new interface are implemented and working, they will kill old.reddit.com and will force users to migrate. The old.reddit.com "superusers" are the minority, and Reddit won't care if they lose those users during the transition.
