MODERATORS
They didn't have to force them, third party devs asked them to let them use their ads and Reddit told them no!
There was an appropriate balance of API fees, returning adds in the API calls, and charging subscription fees to remove ads that would have generated maximum profit by milking the ecosystem from multiple places without ever pissing off users bad enough to make them leave. Complain? Oh sure, users would have done that plenty. On reddit. Where it made reddit monet. Reddit instead elected to simply shit the bed.
That's called idiocy
