Advance, the company that controls Reddit, would be wise right now to replace the CEO whose mismanagement and arrogance has led the moderators of 93% of all subreddits to go private in protest. Put someone in place who realizes that the communities made the service in every way that matters. I'm guessing that Advance is hoping the protestors will go weak-kneed (as so many people on Twitter have done, sadly) and return. Moderators, please, please don't back down on this. Stay dark.
