And he’s already started with the personal attacks against Christian Selig, the Apollo author. Already. Barely 10 minutes into the AMA and he’s already personally attacking someone. What a piece of shit.
Yeah. Pretty clear now that Reddit, being community-driven above all else, would’ve struggled to get anywhere without Alexis around to handle basic human interactions in the early goings.
I’m sure the stockholders he’s been pandering to will love investing in a company that has a user base that so vehemently hates the CEO. I’m not sure where you put that on the financial sheet, but it’s going to be interesting to see how this affects it going public.

in fairness: hasn’t this generally been true of the site since Victoria was fired? my general perception is this is just the last straw for a lot of people, but that people who care about the site’s ownership at all have pretty consistently despised ownership for years now
That’s true. Since the site became a “company” people have begun hating the direction it has been going. I have an 11 year account that is my second after deleting my first account that was around since the beginning of the site. I’ve seen sites come and go. This is just the end of another in the long history of the internet.
World of Warcraft players hate Bobby Kotick, yet he’s still the CEO of Activision Blizzard and earning a ridiculous amount of money for his next yacht.
so far the AMA has been up for about 20 minutes, and he’s answered 3 questions. heavily downvoted as expected.

It’s like some fantasy Silicon Valley episode playing our in real life.
I can’t even find the questions that he’s answered
you’re almost certainly going to have to browse by his profile just to see, given how nuclear the reaction against him is.
Every response of his has been downvoted to oblivion. The community has made their thoughts on him loud and clear.

So true lol, we’re all hoping Microsoft will kick him out if/when the acquisition is finalized.
