I hadn't heard of this, but I feel like this is the case with most big social media companies atm.

Yeah the article ends up pretty much making this point too:

We’re at the dawn of a platform shift. As Google tunes its algorithms and incorporates more AI content into its search results, the business model of the entire internet is undergoing an unpredictable change. Over the long term, Reddit’s scrambling efforts at financial security may prove just as futile as the moderators’ attempts to fight back.

I'm really glad to be out from under all that corporate social media bs.
