And I know what a relief it was when it was gone. It really does feel like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.
The biggest question I have is: why are so many people leaving Reddit? Over the past few months, the site has grown continuously yet the people that have been the driving force of the site seem to be leaving just as the site is hitting its peak. What has changed?
People who work for small companies tend to do so because they like it. The same goes for those who work for big companies.

IMHO, this is a major, major loss for reddit.
