Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.

Huffman said in an interview that he plans to institute rules changes that would allow Reddit users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest…

And:

If you’re a politician or a business owner, you are accountable to your constituents. So a politician needs to be elected, and a business owner can be fired by its shareholders…

Maybe u/spez should get voted off the island.

    Not surprised, was always expecting them to change mod removal rules to change them to Reddit Inc’s preference. I’m sure they’ll continue making new rule changes to kick off moderators in any restricted/locked subreddits.

    Interesting they’re pursuing any rules changes at all, supposedly the protest was having no affect on Reddit’s revenue :P
