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.

    So what?

    Why is this breaking news? Who gives a rip about an internal power struggle in a cesspool like Reddit?

    Half of reddit 'went dark' over this drama the other day, some people seem to care.
