Interesting assertion from the article: Ohanian, who has tight bond with the community, ... I haven't paid much attention to Reddit until this fiasco, but from what I read there yesterday and today, "tight bond" must mean "detested" or "reviled". Or maybe that's just from a vocal 1%, the other 99% don't care or don't think that way?
