Reddit is used to brawls between its 57 million daily users. Now its keyboard warriors are directing their ire at its CEO, Steve Huffman. Thousands of moderators overseeing the site’s so-called subreddits are on strike. It’s a wrinkle in Reddit’s plan to go public, and a sign that plan is premature.
Reading through all the articles and the disastrous AMA, it strikes me that Reddit doesn’t understand it’s users at all, they’ve admitted their app is crap (why doesn’t the Reddit app work like third party apps) and it’s obvious the CEO is out of his depth.
I know it won’t make any difference to Reddit but I’ve deleted my account. It feels as liberating as when I deleted Twitter.
