Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao: The trolls are winning the battle for the Internet

I've noticed that many churches, or their equivalent in various belief systems, have become more of a social center, with various services and activities, rather than static buildings wherein folks are "preached to".

Churches have been social centers of the community at a number of times over the centuries.

Agreed, though often they were the only choice. Now there's more competition from secular activities.

There have been trolls on reddit since it was formed. Ms. Pao lost her job because she was a bad CEO - she didn't understand her product, and she didn't understand her customers. The trolls are just a convenient scapegoat for her to throw under the bus. And if you look at her history, she typically blames others for her lack of success. It's never her fault.

That's what I think as well. I'm certainly not a fan of trolls, but I'm also not a fan of Ms. Pao.
