To me it doesn't seem like they actually violated any Reddit policy or code of conduct, particularly because the NSFW content was properly labeled.

The same admin account was also caught quietly flipping the NSFW subs back to SFW status. So this is clearly just about getting back that monetization.

and back that normal experience of millions of readers of those subreddits.
obviously taking what they built and saying "I built this" wouldn't show anything but spez's pettiness
