How is she ruining reddit?

• javert 11y ago
  Because banning certain reddits is a value to no-one and a disvalue to everyone. It does not add value to me to have subreddits Ellen Pao personally disagrees with be banned. Rather, it takes away value. And now that the precedent has been set, the same will be the case with future reddit leadership.

    It is a mistake to assume Ellen Pao is the reason for /r/fatpeoplehate's removal, both /r/jailbait and /r/creepshots were banned before she worked at Reddit. Who's to say /r/fatpeoplehate wasn't also removed at a consensus by the staff?

    Banning hate and harrassment subreddits has value to many people.

      I agree with banning subreddits that actually go outside their own subreddit to harass people. Otherwise, I don't.

    Do you really think Ellen came in one day from a mountain on high and decreed "these subreddits shall be banned"? What planet are you from that you think a company is run that way?

      She's the CEO, it happened under her watch. > What planet are you from that you think a company is run that way? Well, not a planet where I try to persuade people of my views by sarcastically asking what planet they're from. That is not an argument and it's devoid of intellectual content. > Ellen So you are on a first-name basis with her? Maybe you can tell us the inside story. Otherwise, calling someone by a first name alone is vulgar.
