Yup. It's just as "obvious" that this shows that management is willing to make the big necessary decisions to preserve revenue and take back full control of the user experience.
I'm not defending Reddit at all, but very often what annoys users is what's good for business (e.g. ads), and so users complaining isn't necessarily a bad sign to investors at all.
I would actually say nothing here is obvious yet. Reddit doesn't seem to be in any danger yet, but it really depends on whether user dissatisfaction snowballs or fizzles out, and that's one of those chaos-theory things that nobody knows, and different potential investors will have wildly different opinions on.
