> Ellen Pao had all those issues prior to joining Reddit. Which made her a terrible choice for CEO of Reddit. Things were blowing up before the firing of the mod. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back. There are a lot of communities on Reddit that focus on media coordination. There was a huge push from most tech media to be pro-Pao despite a total lack of evidence to support her story. I see that as the main intersection between her and the Reddit community. She was a Reddit story that became the Reddit CEO then went on to make questionable decisions (mod firing, banning salary negotiation...).
