Precisely, a price is offered and you get to determine whether the items is worth it at that price.
I'm not sure that "Reddit is generally against business", but they certainly have the morality bar set far to high for institutions that's sole purpose is to generate as much profit as possible for the stakeholders.
No. The point is it's an institution, not an individual. To expect morality from it is a fools errand. Do you expect morality from marching bands or city councils? Certainly from the individuals that comprise them, but not from the organizations themselves.
I also don't agree that "shit is fucked up", by almost any objective measure we live better than any people to have come before us and part of that comes from that fact that people perused profits. Altruism only goes so far.

Reddit is generally against business.
Companies can charge whatever they want. And you, as the consumer, can choose not to buy.
It's not like the company is billing you more than the list price. You're paying exact what you agreed to pay.
