I don't think so; if he did that there would be no thread.

"Former Reddit worker does an AMA; CEO talks to him privately about why he was let go" is not nearly as catchy.

More like "Reddit to lay off an employee over feedback on charity spending"

Don't forget that just before Reddit's CEO commented, this guy was a hero of the thread; his comments could have started a completely different discussion.
