Because once you have a reputation for not listening to your users, that'll stick, no matter who agrees with you or not.
I don't think she realizes it yet, but it only took them 3 days to murder their whole brand. I'm not sure what's been done can be undone at this point.

Some of that depends on them, some on us.
If they work hard and actually do the things they've promised, we should give them another shot. Also, if they manage to hire a "real" CEO, not an interim one, and one who isn't Pao then we should let that new person start with a clean slate, not punish them for the mistakes of the old regime. (That being said, if the same mistakes are made, they should be called out. But don't bring up unrelated mistakes done by other people.)
There is a lot of damage done here. Can they clear it all away? Probably not; the internet has a long memory. Can they make amends? Sure. If they actually try and we actually let them. (That second part may be harder than the first. The Reddit community isn't fully blameless here, either.)
