The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Time and several other news sources are reporting that Ellen Pao is resigning as CEO of Reddit. Pao will be replaced by Steve Huffman, a Reddit co-founder and its first CEO.

Pao has had a stormy and controversial stint as interim chief executive officer of Reddit which culminated in a mass user protest in recent weeks, as previously reported on SN.

    Her qualifications in this case are irrelevant. She could be the most overqualified person on the planet and she still wouldn't be the right person for the job for as long as she insists on pursuing her political agenda. I'm surprised that Reddit decided to hire someone so obviously incompatible with the overall community culture as her.
