Ellen Pao has stepped down as the CEO of Reddit

Reddit CEO Ellen Pao’s relationship with the Reddit community has never been the best, but the website’s decision to fire an essential and well-liked Reddit admin was the final straw for many. Moderators and normal users alike have been in a sort of mini-revolt on Reddit these past few weeks, which culminated in the the temporary shutdown of many of the website’s most popular sub-reddits a few days ago. Unable to ignore people’s complaints any longer, Ellen Pao has stepped down from her position as CEO and has handed control over to co-founder Steve Huffman.
