If you take it in context, what he's suggesting is that there is a broad-based lack of incentive and direction from the top to be responsible. This matches my experience 1:1.

Nether Reddit nor Twitter nor FB nor Google are struggling startups that cannot afford to acknowledge their responsibilities to society. You're setting up a very strange and false dichotomy.

This is not a hard line to construct a first-approximation from which we can iterate: public company or part of a top-1000 privately held firm; alternatively, "did founders experience a huge liquidity event?" Google, FB, and Twitter are public. Reddit was bought by Conde Nast.
