I'm surprised they didn't replace /u/spez with woman; then have her make this announcement. Then he could triumphantly return and claim they will do better from now on. ... you know, like the last time they made unpopular changes.

yep, I had a similar train of thought

[spez] screwed up so bad, and it's obvious he's quite stupid...I'm wondering if he was given the Ellen Poa treatment. The investor's knew what changes they wanted to implement to increase revenue, had him implement it, then made him take all the flak. Next, they'll replace spez with someone else, seemingly roll back a few of the changes, and say they're working with the reddit community. The thing is that it's obvious that reddit is irreparably infected. The diseases cannot be eradicated because the disease is corporate greed. Reddit began its time in hospice the moment they shared they were going public. It's over. Done. Say you final goodbyes. RIP in pieces.
