SAN FRANCISCO — Reddit's recently been having quite a rough ride and it's about to get rockier after former
CEO Yishan Wong accused
Alexis Ohanian, a Reddit co-founder, of firing
AMA head
Victoria Taylor two weeks ago, not interim CEO
Ellen Pao.
According to
Yishan, Pao was set to take the fall and basically launched off the glass cliff as Redditors revolted after
Taylor'
s firing. Wong claims Ohanian threw Pao under the bus because he had different ideas for AMAs, so he fired Taylor.
Ask Me Anything is one of Reddit's most valuable sections. AMA hosts
Q&A; sessions with people from the science, sports and entertainment worlds.
Obama has even participated in an AMA.
Reddit hated Ellen Pao from the get go, and maybe that was the plan. A few hours after Pao was given the boot,
Wong left a message on a thread called, "What's the best 'long con' you ever pulled?"
Wong accused Reddit founders of engineering a leadership crisis in order to get more control of the site back from
Conde Nast. Is Wong joking or could there be some truth to his recent posts?
