I have zero faith in Steve Huffman’s ability to lead Reddit.

What kind of chief executive officer posts this comment after a massive community backlash? https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api/jnk45rr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

@matthewcassinelli What's remarkable to me is that there was so much speculation that he would only answer canned questions, or that he would edit comments and all this other stuff -- reasonable considering his past behavior. But the reality seems to be that he didn't have much of a plan going into this "AMA" at all. It's like he thought he could convince the Reddit community that he's right and they're wrong through the sheer force of his personality. Bizarre.
