AMAs have been a mess since they fired Victoria. Seeing how they’ve handled the TPA fiasco, it wouldn’t surprise me if that decision was pure ego.

The users liked her. The guests liked her. She became more popular than the remaining founders, so they booted her and ruined AMAs in the process. Unforced error.

That whole time period on Reddit was such a cluster. Ellen Pao gathering all the hate for firing Victoria when it was Ohanian (and probably Huffman) pulling the strings the whole time. Pao knew exactly what her job as the fall-girl was and ran with that money once it was over.

The Pao scapegoat move was so transparent. Like everything else Reddit does, it’s amateur hour. There was a time they were good at running a content aggregator. As corporate leaders, they suck out loud.

Could you enlighten us with the story please?
