The problem is that humans don't pay attention to level headed issues and complaints.
Level headed posts that have information tend to skew boring and gain no reaction/traction.
Memes, however offensive, are more enticing and get kicked to the top.
Were the threats idiotic much of the time? Yes. But would anything else have gotten such a response? Highly unlikely.
I don't think she's a nazi, equivalent to Mao or on par with North Korea, but I also see many issues in her professional life and decisions made during her tenure as interim CEO that were absolutely terrible choices, it's hard to deny that.
I'm sure there is a lot happening behind the scenes, but at the same time much of the handling and timing of things was suspect, I don't think *anyone* could honestly say she did even a passing job as Reddit CEO and certainly not prior to this based on details issued.
The bigger question is why Reddit hired someone like this who had no experience in this type of position *and* had massive political baggage coming along with her. It only makes sense in the theory that she was hired as a bucket to kick all the terrible things Reddit wanted done into. When looked at in that respect, it makes much more sense.
There's nothing here!
