Odd that he's choosing to do this personally or at least under his personal username given his previous interactions with the community at large and general hostile sentiment they have towards him. Curious as to what's influencing that decision.
Does Steve Huffman view himself as such a people person that he can calm the crowd? Does he or an advisor think his title as CEO is important rather than just an impersonal "Q&A with Reddit"?
- Exuma 3y agoYes this is what I found odd. His actions are SO clear cut with the audio, there's really quite literally nothing he could say. It's almost like saying nothing would be more beneficial than whatever he could come up with tomorrow.
- willis936 3y agoI mean a smart person would take the opportunity to eat crow, declare mea culpa, and demonstrate that they've learned a valuable lesson. I'll let others to speculate if he is the kind of person you would expect that of.
- floundy 3y agoHe might be the fall guy for this, perhaps he was ready to step down as Reddit CEO before the IPO and bring in some type who is amenable to Wall Street. The board will then "fire" Huffman to appease the users, but the decisions will not be reversed.
