Reddit seems to be in the business of extracting as much value as it can from said forums without completely destroying them.

I call bs. It's been completely destroyed for a while.

    I think they're more upset AI companies scraped 'em and they didn't get paid.

    You mean Reddit told Google? They actually have an agreement with Google where the latter get a direct feed of new posts and comments, and index them pretty much immediately. So not sure where you got the ‘told Google to pound sand’ idea.

    They are in the business of attracting new users into their new algorithmic engagement hellhole now. Show any propensity of interest, and you will get sidetracked to the most godawful side-communities that seem to have emerged to engage as many victims as possible. They do not want to focus on their old users as anything less than the content they already made that makes reddit show up as free advertisement to their new base in search engines. It's all a game of "it's the algorithm's fault so you can't blame us" now.
