[soapbox]Guys, remember: spez is just the sacrificial goat*. They'll let him take the unpopular decisions, then "fire" him, then plenty users will go like "WE DID IT REDDIT! WE SAVED REDDIT! SPEZ IS GONE". It was just like this with Ellen Pao.
The whole company is scum and not even firing spez should be considered enough.[/soapbox]
*I apologise to any caprine being who might be offended by the comparison.
Eh... I wouldn't put Ellen Pao and spez in the same category. Ellen was always going to be the interim CEO, but spez is the cofounder turned CEO. He's managed to turn anger against both himself and Reddit.
It's less about them being in the same category and more about Reddit Inc. using them the same way. In a corporation, even the co-founder is discardable, if deemed unfit for corporate consumption.
(He deserves it though. YMMV on Pao, she always sounded way more genuine than spez IMO.)
