I think the calculus is: they can do it and not lose many users.

They think people leaving won't move the needle or they are so fucked financially they have to take the risk.

I haven't deleted my account, but I haven't looked at reddit since before the blackout. Once rif goes away, I'll likely never go back in any sort of active capacity.

I think they'll feel this one. Maybe not at first but there are lots of old (10+ year) active (serious karma) accounts that are leaving. They'll pull a Twitter and slowly die.
