Doesn’t Reddit have a track record of getting the CEO to do something unpopular and then replacing them?


Spez... then Yishan Wong... then Ellen Pao... Then Spez.

Not sure if I recall Wong or Pao did things that seemed overtly business / investor motivated? I know there was the controversial firing of Victoria Taylor by Pao that eventually led to her demise.


A former Reddit CEO alleges that Pao wasn't the one who ordered Victoria to be fired.

That's correct. In a comment earlier that day, Alexis said it was his decision.
