And this is a poorer story, basically an analysis of previous stories. I flagged it.

Why's it off the frontpage after 3 hours and 100 points?
Re:Reddit's chief engineer resigns by tptacek on Tuesday July 14, 2015 @01:09PM (#9886401)
Because people flag the Reddit drama stories. They're getting tired of them, or they feel like the threads they generate are unproductive.

So they are using the flag as a downvote? I assumed the flag was just a "report" button.

Yeah they're gonna have a pretty tough time recruiting after the shitshow and mismanagement and miscommunication by everyone (from the community itself, all the way up to the investors and board).

I wouldn't touch that company with a 10ft pole. ESPECIALLY in San Francisco where opportunity is abundant.

There's a chance that reddit is simply not a viable business, and just because you amass a large audience doesn't mean it's monetizable.

Cut through all the drama, and maybe it's really about that. A weak, messy platform, with no focus, and no possibility of getting.

How many of us here would take a job at reddit? Not many, I'd bet. There's no real Engineering problem to be solved.
