What an absolutely idiotic CEO lmao he is so clueless. He doesn't realize the community and the volunteers (moderators) have all of the power. The website is nothing without that.
I commented that in different posts and people still lick his boots like he has all the power just because. I mean, he can be the CEO, but that doesn't mean that the community has zero rights to protest or demand changes. I swear people, mostly in Twitter, think it's ok to be a dictator.
There is a large enough body of people who fetishize C-level roles, and "profit uber alles" mentalities that will keep most for-profit endeavors fully staffed and running, even with volunteer labor and content creation. The risk of "everyone under one roof," is also the strength. When the roof covers a large enough swath, the biomass itself is enough to keep the roof off the ground, and there's enough room in the middle with people scrambling to push and shove their way in.
