Yishan is largely responsible for what was blamed on Ellen Pao.
If you look at the team page of reddit, you notice that most of them left or were fired, most in them last year. Why? Because Yishan said "You're all moving to SF or you're fired!". Most didn't want to relocate. This meant that reddit became staffed by a majority of people who didn't know reddit, and didn't know the community led by a CEO that didn't know reddit and had not much people she could rely on to teach her.
According to admin deimorz (who ironically was exempted from the move by being a remote worker from Canada), this is the root of their latest woes.
And the ultimate irony in all of this is that the move was engineered to foster better communication!
