Reddit experience the past couple of days
It's light, its dark. It's up, its down... True parody of itself.. It's time for Reddit to get out of its own way and time for me to find a new and friendlier community

Reddit Is Revolting
Reddit is in revolt, and the front page of the Internet is essentially locked down. Moderators have all but shut down more than 265 subreddits to protest the termination of Victoria Taylor, the site’s director of talent. She managed the site’s wildly popular “Ask Me Anything”’ interviews that have included celebrities ranging from President Obama to a guy with two penises.

I cancelled my Reddit Gold and it felt AWESOME!
I've been meaning to do this for a while but well cancelling Paypal subscriptions is annoying. Anyhow, for those that feel that the recent events on Reddit are a giant "Vote of No Confidence" towards the Reddit admins and wish to revoke their Reddit Gold, send the funds here to help keep this platform free of ads for everyone.

Reddit User looks at the turn over of reddit employees, seems reddit isn't that fun of a place to work either. (23 out 38 Admins left in in 9 months)
"...decided to take a look at the alumni section of the Team page. I found a slightly disturbing trend that may be a clue that reddit is in deeper trouble than most think. Out of the 38 people listed on the alumni portion of the page, 23 24 of them have left in the last 9 months, or roughly since Y Combinator took the lead in investing in reddit."

Fix reddit with bitcoin.
For a brief but glorious time, I was the cryptocurrency engineer at reddit. Yes, that was my actual title and it was actually awesome. Although I was publicly hired to work on cryptocurrency, we actually had a secret, higher priority goal: we wanted to decentralize reddit. reddit is a uniquely internet thing. Because identities are pseudonymous, people aren’t afraid to express themselves. Combined with a simple but effective reputation system, this leads to a faster-paced, higher-quality product

Ellen Pao: Vast Majority of Users Don't Actually Care About Drama
The last few days have seen Reddit, the internet’s Fort Knox of cat GIFs, tearing itself apart over the dismissal of Reddit’s unofficial liason between staff and the community. The disagreement caused some subreddits to go offline, turning the site’s front page into a barren wasteland — but according to CEO Ellen Pao, the ‘vast majority’ of users are uninterested.

Reddit Bosses Are Doing Everything Wrong
"Reddit execs are discovering that when most of your workforce is unpaid, you can't treat them like employees." A great opinion piece by Sascha Segan that astutely defines the issues surrounding Reddit's problems over the past month. It's nice to hear someone review how the admins have operated without straying from their immediate professional performance!

The next Reddit could be based on bitcoin and impossible to censor
What's next for Reddit? After the abrupt dismissal of a popular staff member saw its volunteer moderators take hundreds of the site's most popular communities offline in protest, some users have speculated that this is the beginning of the end for the community-driven news site. But there's another, far more radical vision for Reddit (or a site just like it): A decentralised, bitcoin-powered community that is impossible to shut down, impossible to censor.

A prescient article about reddit's inevitable fall
"[reddit] burns more money than it makes. With no real competition on the horizon, and as reddit continues growing, it will get an itchier trigger finger. If they butcher their inevitable monetization strategy — like Digg did — there is seemingly nothing else similar that users can jump ship to."

Why We Shut Down Reddit’s ‘Ask Me Anything’ Forum
We are moderators for the website reddit.com, a place where, on a typical day, millions of users read and share content in self-contained communities called “subreddits.” We volunteer our time to help manage the subsection called IamA — a popular part of the site where thousands of interviews, known as “ask me anythings,” take place.
