They never learn.
learn what? they're more successful than they've ever been. Their profit is up, their users are up. What exactly do they need to learn? Yes, you and I and most people reading this comment are pissed off at them and left their platform. But 99% of people didn't bother. This will annoy people but ultimately it won't drive users away in any substantial numbers. They do it because they know they can and most people will do what they're told and get the app instead. You say that as if you expect them to be shooting themselves in the foot, but people being annoyed at them does not reduce their profitability.
They are failing and they know it. You talk about money, but the rest of us talk about legacy and longevity. Reddit is dying.
Objectively their business is doing well. Their social network is clearly dropping off like most others. Real people are posting much less across the board, Reddit is turning into a passive AI fueled entertainment platform.
