Reddit has never had great leadership, much like Twitter. There was an idea that you needed a visionary founder to lead a social media company,which is why @jack and u/spez got brought back, but neither have been good leaders of their companies or great stewards of the community. Instagram and YouTube seem to be examples of social media sites led by non-founders, though those are also subsidiaries.
