Advance, the company that controls Reddit, would be wise to replace the CEO whose mismanagement and arrogance has led moderators of thousands of subreddits to go private in protest.

Put someone in place who realizes that the communities made the service in every way that matters.

Maybe Advance is hoping the protestors will go weak-kneed (as so many people on Twitter have done, sadly) and return.

Moderators, please, please don't back down on this. Stay dark.

(Corrected re extent of strike..)

@dangillmor 3rd party app devs wouldn't even mind if API fee was reasonable. 20 million a year for an indie dev whose income is solely based on donations is just absurd. Maybe he's making alright money for cozy life, given how iPhone users generally don't mind paying, but it's nowhere near million numbers. Any million numbers.
