I think they did, it's just that they are way too egoistic and dick to admit that.
Has reddit actually been negatively impacted by their recent actions?
The negative impact is that we're here discussing this in the fediverse rather than reddit.

Well put.
The bucket is also increasingly full of bots and astroturfers. I think they're doing a half decent job of hiding the impact when it comes to numbers, but the drop in quality sheds a little more light.
I'm not sure they have, there's plenty complaints from users about the bad mods and so forth, but the numbers the C-level's look at have probably not changed enough to worry them.
