鮑康如（Ellen Pao）出包，鄉民抗議聲中辭職下台
台灣時間週末（7/11）的今天見到美國媒體的電子報，幾乎沒漏這則新聞，報導知名 RSS（非常簡易供稿機制）平台 Reddit 的代理執行長鮑康如（Ellen Pao），於美國西岸7/10（五）與董事會達成協議，在廿萬用戶連署猛烈抨擊的四面楚歌情境下，走下代理執行長的位階。執行長該職則由Reddit 的共同創辦人兼前執行長 Steve Huffman 回鍋掌舵。
鮑康如（Ellen Pao）出包事件始自該網站平台公關 Victoria Taylor 日前被莫名炒魷魚達到高峰。Victoria Taylor 同時職掌 Reddit 的「有問必答」（Ask Me Anything, AMA），並責司聯繫窗口以協調熱門討論串的各個版主。曾經造訪「有問必答」（AMA）的名人有微軟的比爾蓋茲、美國總統歐巴馬等。
Reddit 用戶質疑，並指控該網站試圖利用日漸高漲的名氣行商業圖利，改變使用者相互稽核機制（user moderation）的原創宗旨，以用戶在AMA討論串與美國黑人民權人士 Jesse Jackson 對談爆出的爭議言論為導火線，在對談變成個人指控的情境下解僱 Victoria Taylor。Reddit 用戶認為，這顯示 Reddit 正從堅持讓每個觀點發聲，走向迎合商業利益。平台上有鄉民認為，Victoria Taylor 之所以被炒魷魚的主因該是抗拒讓AMA的進一步商業化，緣此便將事件矛頭指向代理執行長鮑康如（Ellen Pao）的專斷。
反對鮑康如（Ellen Pao）的20萬名連署請願用戶約占 Reddit 全體用戶的0.12%，但有分析家指出，這些少數不滿用戶正是 Reddit 引為珍貴的環節。如果這股反抗風潮不適時消弭，則愈演愈烈的局面將導致這些人轉移到其他平台，並就此帶走一缸子跟隨的用戶群，從而威脅到 Reddit 的營運。
鮑康如（Ellen Pao）在辭職聲明中說：「在 Reddit 工作了兩年多後，今天我宣佈辭職。打從2013/04/01那天在 Reddit 工作起，天天都是意想不到歷程。職掌 Reddit 執行長的八個月間，我見到好的、壞的，以及醜陋的一面。好的已成異乎尋常的激勵，而醜陋的一面則令我對人性起疑。」（After more than two years at reddit, I have resigned today. My first day was April 1, 2013, and every day since has been an adventure. In my eight months as reddit’s CEO, I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly on reddit. The good has been off-the-wall inspiring, and the ugly made me doubt humanity.）
鮑康如（Ellen Pao）的辭職引起兩極見解，某些人認為這是網路鄉民的勝利，但另面則認為那是網路民粹。組織執行長的他去肇因竟然是鄉民的網路言論，實在荒謬透頂。此外，也有人將件事扯到女性不受科技業重視的女性主義議題上。但也有人認為這件事徹頭徹尾都不是 Reddit 的課題，純只是鮑康如（Ellen Pao）一意孤行的下場而已。

Reddit's Ellen Pao resigns after community's criticism
By Dave LeeNorth America technology reporter
10 July 2015
From the sectionTechnology
Ellen Pao had been the focus of intense criticism from Reddit's communityEllen Pao, the chief executive of influential news and links sharing website Reddit, has resigned.
Ms Pao had been the subject of intense criticism over her handling of the site, one of the web's most visited, since taking over late last year.
A petition with over 200,000 signatures called for her removal.
In a statement, the site criticised some of Reddit's community over "sickening comments" made towards Ms Pao.
"The reduction in compassion that happens when we're all behind computer screens is not good for the world," wrote Sam Altman, a lead investor in the site.
"People are still people even if there is internet between you. If the Reddit community cannot learn to balance authenticity and compassion, it may be a great website but it will never be a truly great community."
Speaking of Ms Pao's contribution to the site, Mr Altman said: "We are thankful for Ellen's many contributions to Reddit and the technology industry generally.
"She brought a face to Reddit that changed perceptions, and is a pioneer for women in the tech industry. She will remain as an advisor to the board through the end of 2015. I look forward to seeing the great things she does beyond that."
Ms Pao told the New York Times: "It became clear that the board and I had a different view on the ability of Reddit to grow this year.
"Because of that, it made sense to bring someone in that shared the same view."
Steve Huffman, a co-founder of Reddit and former chief executive, will take over from Ms Pao who will remain as an advisor to the board for the remainder of 2015, Mr Altman said.
Downvoted
Reddit, which is over a decade old, bills itself as the "frontpage of the internet".
The hugely popular site allows users to share links on any conceivable subject. Other users are then able to up- or downvote links.
The popular links rise to the top of each sections, with the most viral making their way to the hallowed frontpage. Links here are typically viewed millions of times in a short period.
Earlier this month Reddit's users reacted with fury after Victoria Taylor, an employee with the firm, had been sacked.
Ms Taylor oversaw the "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) section of the site that interviewed celebrities, politicians and other newsworthy figures.
Hundreds of the site's chat sections, known as sub-reddits, were shut down in protest at the decision.
