I am suggesting that his "organization", if "he" has one, has the objective of lowing the usage rate of anonymity technology and is attempting to do so by smearing it on Reddit. I think this is likely because recently, anonymity technology has been portrayed favorably on Reddit. That's an objective, not a motive, mind. The OP could be anyone from a secret black helicopter lizard to a lone crusader against CP. I just don't believe the claims put forward and think that it is more likely that the appearance of a surveillance insider *now* is due to the recent attention paid to anonymity tech on Reddit than pure coincidence. I had a longer post, but I guess it got eaten by the list?
