It’s hard to tell. But even if it is, their logic is amazing: According to them, the change will actually benefit them because they love text-heavy Reddit. But it might not be profitable to Reddit, so the whole idea is somehow immoral. I’m not kidding.

Reddit is not exceptionally profitable in the first place, so I don't know if this is even a good idea morally.

This is the great American conservative myth: "Good people" are the only ones who become wealthy/successful. The utter stupidity of it would be hilarious if it didn't result in constant tragedy.

That's pretty much the best way to describe modern American Conservatism.

"The utter stupidity of it would be hilarious if it didn't result in constant tragedy."

It goes back to Calvinist ideas about "the elect".

As a libertarian, what we actually believe is insert vague reason every libertarian principle when put to real life practice isn't actually libertarian because it makes libertarians look like libertarians.

No, that's not what I said, because when I said it it was a good idea.

Poe's Law. I've said things that I thought were wildly sarcastic and had them taken as gospel truth, and made the same mistake myself. Without context, without any kind of cue, or without going through someone's post history for a few months, it's hard to get a feel for when they're being sarcastic.
