Why We Shut Down Reddit’s ‘Ask Me Anything’ Forum
When you consider exactly how much information we have to go on, I think people are overreacting by immense proportions.<p>Do we even know why Victoria was fired yet? Maybe she was about to blow the lid off a vast internet conspiracy. Or maybe she's actually the bad guy, and she went crazy and tried to destroy the office. We just don't know, and we might never know.<p>Besides, what is reddit corporate supposed to do when they want to fire an employee? Message the mods and say, "Oh, btw, we're going to fire Victoria in a couple days and Xyz will take over her duties, just thought you'd like to know."? That's simply out of the question, and not enough people even thought about this scenario.<p>The responses to this event are entirely unjustified, because there is no information at all to base a reaction on.
