First subreddit over 10M to go private. The message shown when trying to enter the sub is a quote from spez:

I think the problem Digg had is that it was a company that was built to be a company, and you could feel it in the product. The way you could criticize Reddit is that we weren't a company โ€“ we were all heart and no head for a long time. So I think it'd be really hard for me and for the team to kill Reddit in that way. Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit, April 2023

Just a nit: Given the context of the rest of your post, I think you mean "glass half empty".

"I see the glass half full" means optimistic, while "I see the glass glad empty" means pessimistic. The idiom is about what a person chooses to focus on in a less-than-ideal situation: what's missing, or what's still there?

(Not saying you don't know that, just explaining for anyone who isn't familiar with the idiom)
