What a ridiculously biased article, and a great example of the narrative that the media is trying to push on people. Was shutting down all those subreddits a bad thing? Well not always, but the fact of the minute is simple; the new team (including Pao) were bad choices for a site that was founded on freedom of speech first and everything else last. That's it. If you have a forum where the culture leans towards a lack of censorship and an everything goes attitude and you try and forcefully change that, of course you're going to end up with a huge firestorm of controversy. Many of the changes here were just terrible community management by people who didn't understand the original site and had no interest in doing so.
