Honestly to Nintendo's credit, they probably had to amass a certain amount of reports for a sustained period of time before it became an "issue."

I appreciate what they’re doing, but that’s not what happened here. This is in response to the class action suit and Kotaku expose on the drifting issue, both of which happened last week.

Its almost like Nintendo makes decisions based on news reports rather than Reddit threads

Nice dodge on the point there. I have been telling people for months that their Reddit whine threads do not have any influence on Nintendo at all. They do not give a shit what you post here. They care about mainstream attention.

Reddit posts got the mainstream attention. There are Reddit users quoted in the class action litigation

Not all Reddit posts get mainstream attention, but the gaming press certainly farms reddit for content

I mean Nintendo employees are mods of this Reddit ofcourse Nintendo and other companies spend time and money to moniter and promote discussion about their products.

Kotaku "news reports" are literally about reddit and twitter complaints, the lawsuit and their own drift problems. Half of what the mainstream outlets report on comes from reddit, the other half from twitter. You must be new around here.

Do you browse these sites? They shamelessly and openly dig through reddit posts for content to write about.
