I understand that reddit administration is not perfect and has made mistakes in the past, but I think this schism owes equal blame to much of the userbase's natural anti-authoritarian cynicism.
This site is user run as much as it is administrated, and users need to meet half way rather than crossing their arms while scoffing at all attempts by admins to improve.

I find myself wondering what that would look like. The userbase feels it has done quite a lot of halfway-meeting over time, and the net result now looks more like Xeno's Paradox in action than it does genuine improvement the users want.
Looking at the vocal users, I see relatively few convinced that the goals in question are worth sacrificing for. I can't blame them - the administration has done a poor job of selling the userbase on the notion.
