Customers knowing more about the effects of decisions than the actual decision makers at a company is fairly normal. There is a reason they send out all those surveys. They're hoping you'll let them know about their mistakes.
I’m not sure how anyone works in the tech industry for any amount of time and comes away with the impression that large company execs regularly make good product decisions. It’s especially funny to claim this for a company like Reddit that has a very public history of awful decisions.
Some evidence to support your decision: The CEO of Reddit hasn't posted or commented on Reddit in almost a year. Same goes with most of the decision-makers. They're not users of their own product.
