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.)
