The spin on this is just great. As others have said, new features have nothing to do with moderating. Note how the company did nothing wrong. It is not their fault they can't shield developers from user shitstorms. "Alexis was supposed to announce it [..] but somehow that did not happen". This is just casually glossed over. Somehow that did not happen? again, it is the communities' fault for assuming the CEO fired someone, when they could've easily been informed about who actually did it. "FUCK your free speech, this is why we can't have nice things." yeah, or this is why we can't have advertisers. If you want to have advertisers, you have to ban the subreddits that make the site look bad. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/4ll9tc/it_looks_like_reddit_wants_to_become_a_profitable/ https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/4ll9tc/it_looks_li... Isn't it convenient how they could (in a series of moves) 1. Fire Victoria (for whatever reason) 2. Make the impopular CEO take the blame to get rid of her and 3. Hire a former founder as the new CEO (embraced by the community) 4. Who drops a "Reddit, we need to talk" and gets rid of the shittier subreddits
