content: /u/donutpeach, According to the Board Member currently conducting an IAMA, your claim is not valid. I left Reddit for a lot of reasons, and I really like Voat, so I plan to be around for a while. I am NOT a Reddit champion, nor do I subscribe to their paradigm of content censorship, but you're promoting a conspiracy theory that has no basis in fact.  She's not "leaving with a bag of cash", she'll be working at Reddit in a lesser capacity The board's published reason for replacing her is a disagreement between the amount of user growth to be expected in 6 months (this is a no-brainer, obviously). It's still too early to tell whether there will be an improvement to the overall community, especially w.r.t. the unresolved issues (censorship of content, mod support, etc) The IAMA is an interesting read, I recommend having a go at it. Even if you disagree, it's good to know what they're trying to promote.  It's actually more interesting to me that she "resigned" on Friday afternoon, the nationally-famous time for massive news-dumps and attempts to hide major breaking news. *edit format
