I don’t know much about reddit corporate structure, or how corporate works in full honesty. My understanding is that there are 2 alive founders, and spez is the CEO. Where is Alexis in all of this? Or does he not have a say?

    Someone who’s more informed than me, please chime in.

    As I understand it Alexis stepped away from the board(?) of reddit in 2020. Supposedly in protest after George Floyd was murdered. I believe he’s just your standard “Hey look, I’m woke too!” venture capitalist nowadays. Likely still heavily invested in reddit, seeing as I don’t think he’s spoken out on the controversy lately.

    He caught a lot of heat for firing Victoria back in 2015 iirc.

    Most of what I saw about him was from his own website so take it all with a huge grain of salt.

    Although as much as I hate to give props to a rich guy, he does put on a much better Real Human act than spez, Musk, or Zuc.
