Petition to Fire Reddit CEO Ellen Pao Has Over 100,000 Signatures
LatestReddit, a popular site for creepers and fans of upskirt shots, is in the midst of a turmoil of its own making. On Friday the site fired AMA coordinator Victoria Taylor who, by all accounts, was good at her job and beloved by the community. In response, moderators of popular subreddits—many of whom are volunteers of sorts—shut down their communities or set them to private so they could no longer be accessed. Basically the shitshow that is Reddit went into some weird subculture tailspin.
In response, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian apologized for failing to take responsibility and begged subreddit moderators to make their sites visible again. Interim Reddit CEO, Ellen Pao promised moderators “better tools for moderators and for admins to help keep subreddits and reddit awesome.” As of today, most of those subreddits are still blocked. And it looks like Reddit members are determined to get Pao fired.
