Poll: Anyone following the meltdown on Reddit?

[Nutella33]

Literally nothing is going to change, she was just a scapegoat that is staying on the board. The new CEO has said she was right and they are continuing on with her direction.

It honestly puzzles me why people are cheering the new CEO. People seem to have lost sight of why the direction is bad and just hated on pao.

Seems like the subreddits are still "dark" as well so I think the move to voat etc will continue

The "new" CEO is the co-founder of reddit is why.

Pao was rubbish. A CEO of a community she couldn't care less about. So many stories from mods and others which show her to be utterly inept.

Many reddit fanboys insulting people who don't like the layout.

Another reason I don't reddit.

I agree, I don't get these people calling other people morons. I'm pretty sure almost everyone understands how Reddit works. It's just an awful mess of a site and I know fine well how it's structure works.

It just seems like a place for people with five second attention spans where every comment rambles off into another topic.

Never mind the fact the this very thread was about the state of leadership at reddit, and yet people decided to moan about the layout instead of staying on topic.

Taken from that link, this sums up Reddit for me... just... what?!

It hurts my eyes.

@ Nitefly the very top comment is what's worth reading, click the picture links if you wish but what I would do is collapse everything at that comment and move on. Simples.

I've highlighted the collapse/expand buttons and also to the right of those the number of child comments hidden as a result.

I'm sure anyone browsing GD on OcUK seeing endless ****posts about pooing through letter boxes, boxing stances, nuking from orbit, ovary punch, pasty molesting, and the like would say exactly the same.

Also, it's very easy to use examples of a place at its worst to illustrate a point. Here's the other end of the spectrum at reddit:

Reddit makes far more sense than OCUK, but it's much simpler to read here.
Most threads can have multiple conversations so instead of quote after quote like we have here, Reddit has that branching off in its separate conversation

This is what the cool kids see:

As per Mitzy though.. it's easy to just collapse/hide those image chains. Easier than doing the same on ocuk forums where you have no choice but to scroll and mentally filter though them.

am a bit confused on their rules for promoting companies

like you're not supposed to use reddit for promoting your own website, company etc.. (much like you can't do here)

yet some companies, websites etc.. have sub reddits entirely dedicated to them???

how on earth is that not inherently promotion?

er yes. did you even read my post?

Pao was rubbish.... shes still on the board of reddit and the new CEO has said she was right and will continue to work in her direction.

My point is there's no indication the poor direction Reddit is taking is going to change with the new CEO
