/u/memorydealers was formerly the CEO of Bitcoin,com. Now he is in some lesser role.
Most of the mods are employees of Bitcoin,com.
e.g. /u/BitcoinXio, /u/MagmaHindenberg is CTO, etc.
Claiming r/btc is some user-run subreddit is quite literally lying.
The effort is all to keep Bitcoin constrained to never increase its throughout so that people will be forced to use blockstream's awkward and unnecessary layer in top. This is why all the original developers and more were replaced with people funded by blockstream. While there are many contributors listed on GitHub there is very little development allowed to be merged from outsiders.
If anyone doubts this, go try to have a discussion of increasing the block size on /r/Bitcoin and see how fast your comments are deleted or your account banned. Make sure to look at it without your main account. At best they will tell you it is impossible even though many other cryptocurrencies have done it with no problems (and anyone can see that the resource usage is tiny). These things can be independently verified.

Funny, how you're the one quite literally lying. It's called psychological projection.
Of course, the Blockstream propaganda is what destroyed r/bitcoin, and it's quite common here on hacker news as well. Just look at who's writing the comment...
