I'm saying its a curse because: - Yishan Wongs various missteps and eventual bizzare (looking) departure - Ellen Pao had haters on the site from day 1, Hitler memes etcetera. And then when they fired u/Chooter all hell broke loose and some subs were shut down by their own mods. The integrity of AMA was permanently ruined by this IMO. Anyway, Pao was hated by the idiots immediately, but hated universally after this. - Spez started strong but this is going to affect his credibility, and seems to me to be part of the same downward spiral that happens to the CEOs when they get caught up in some bullshit happening on the site.

The real trouble is that its CEOs are all far far far too involved in the going ons of the communities.

  No kidding. They create a platform, and then continually panic like "Oh no! People are using the platform! What do we do? How do we stop people using the platform while making it seem like we want people to use the platform? People are using the site! Something must be done!"
