Does Yishan Wong have some sort of huge grudge with Reddit? He seems to be constantly talking about inside/advance information about what's happening.

Does Yishan Wong have some sort of huge grudge with Reddit? He seems to be constantly talking about inside/advance information about what's happening.
- fixermark 11y agoHe'd be justified in having a grudge, as a former CEO. But I think it's more that he has no f---- to give and is 100% willing to speak his mind on the topic. Not a trait I'd want to see in all the CEOs out there, but seeing it in one former founder is... Refreshing. ;)
- AnkhMorporkian 11y agoWong is not one of the founders of reddit. He was appointed CEO.
- fixermark 11y agoMy mistake; thank you for the correction. Original comment updated.
- AlphaSite 11y agoI'd assume he's a little cheesed off with the reddit board, since they essentially scapegoated her (I'd assume a friend) for their own decisions.
- supercanuck 11y agoIt appears he is just Ellen Pao's proxy at this point, so I think career wise, he will be fine.
- trose 11y agoHe was highly inappropriate when he was CEO, once having a public flamewar with a disgruntled ex-employee. I'm not surprised by his behavior but I question his motives. Looking at his comment history he seems well aware that he is blacklisting himself from ever holding an executive title again. Maybe when you have nothing left to lose you just start seeking attention?
- MichaelGG 11y agoHe's posting with admin flair. So reddit is still allowing him to do so? Maybe this is just a PR stunt?
