"If you were the CEO of Reddit it would go the way of Digg." If I ran Reddit, it would be just as popular and much more profitable. The mass Digg exodus happened because their decisions ruined the content and the average user got tired of the bullshit. This has nothing to do with moderators. "The community is what makes the site successful, and the moderators shape the community, in addition to being the chief content creators." Are you a moderator? Do you really think the moderators create content? Here is an example: http://www.reddit.com/r/politics Everything on the front-page is taken from other sites. The moderators created nothing. The users even posted the links..so they didn't even do that. "but to years of serious issues and mismanagement." Why no protests before this incident then? and why are there so many people protesting her firing? "The first subreddit to shut down did so because it literally couldn't keep functioning without Victoria, and the rest saw an opportunity to finally voice their complaints and be heard." Well, you shouldn't base your entire success on 1 person. A smart moderator would have multiple backups.
