To be fair, any sufficiently large community (50+ million) is bound to have some people in it with poor judgment who will take their reaction too far.

If I was a Reddit employee right now, I would probably not be openly advertising it. This is probably good advice, regardless of how you feel about corporate Reddit's actions and policies.

Also, let's not make the same mistake of thinking Spez is the sole source of this trouble and him stepping down will magically make all of this go away. Reddit is rotten with greed and that ultimately stems from the investors. Nothing changed with Elen Pao's firing, and little will ultimately change with regards to monetization of user data if Spez is replaced.
