What? No. You can make a successful product AND have happy customers/end users. Saying that money is the reason is just wrong. Incompetence is the reason.
They are trying to clean up Reddit to make it safe for "real" advertising from what I've been reading.
A site operating purely off donations given to them without any pressure on the userbase to donate (ie donate to remove ads), is a happier more stable place than one that does, or at least that's my view on it. Success doesn't mean swimming in cash Scrouge McDuck style, Success means that you have met or exceeded your goals. If having happy customers is one of those goals then that's an added bonus.
