I've always felt like "Head of Community" is a weird job title. I mean, isn't a community, by definition, imply joint ownership by those in the community? Or if there must be a leader, then they have to be elected by the people to represent/lead them.
The whole thing just feels like you're being taken advantage through marketing. They foster that "community" feel without actually giving any control that a community collectively should have.
