It's big news everywhere. Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao has officially been kicked out, with Steve Huffman taking her place.
There were several events that lead to this move:
- The elimination of employee salary negotiation on a gender equality basis
- The closure of multiple subreddits she claims are solely for the purpose of harassment
- Several petitions calling for her resignation including a change.org petition with over 200,000 signatures
- The termination of crucial community manager Victoria Taylor
