partly optics, but mainly loss of confidence, not just by the users, but Reddit's employees.

It may be an OK business decision (though I personally think they didn't think it through), but he handled the aftermath in an extraordinarily bad way.

Either he doesn't have good lieutenants around him to advise and support him, or he is too stubborn to listen to them.

Yeah, I think that although the complaints about these changes are largely overblown, it might be best for spez to fall on his sword at some point before the dust settles. Maybe take a vacation and come back in a few years again.
