    The craziest part is these people are volunteers and were the entire reason his stupid site worked to begin with. Why go to war with them? They can just walk away, they never got anything out of this to begin with. And why would anyone new join up if the previous generation is being treated this way? Just super mysterious behavior overall.

        Unusually, however, this one has been involved with the product and customers since the beginning.

        It’s common to hear of a CEO being brought in and promptly running the company into the ground, but for one of the founders to do it after over a decade of operation? That’s different.

          He’s taken the wrong lessons from watching Reddit develop. He thinks because he’s been there this whole time, no one knows better what it means to be a redditor than him, even though he’s one of like 2 people who knows what it feels like to relate to reddit how he does. Further, he thinks because he’s been there the whole time he’s what’s made reddit special even though… No.
