Ask HN: What is going on with Reddit right now?
There's just so much drama going on between the upper management of Reddit, past and present. What exactly is going on? It's quite disheartening to see such behavior among professionals.

- rezistik 11y agoIt's interesting how public some of the comments have been including executives and previous executives of Reddit commenting on some big changes and big opinions. Including the once CEO of Reddit /u/Yishan publicly criticizing and stating he no longer respects /u/Kn0thing. It'll be interesting to see how Reddit evolves in the coming months, it's been the social news site since the Digg V4 apocalypse, which is about 5 years. Digg was at it's height form 2005 to 2010, Reddit took over from 2010-present. Is a 5 year window the time to Eternal September? Or can Reddit hold onto it's user base despite the many public problems? Stay tuned for the next episode of "People Talk About Stuff on the Internet" to find out!
