Redditors staged a coup and overthrew the CEO once before, why isn't it happening again?

Because Ellen Pao (the unpopular CEO who was ousted) was set up as the fall guy. Her entire purpose was to be at the helm while Reddit implemented (at the time) unpopular measures that angered the "free speech absolutists". Once that was done, she was cast aside so the anointed pigboy they have today could claim his promised seat on the throne and not have to walk back anything.

Because it was Russia overthrowing the CEO to install Spez.

I first read that as ceo nonce. Which makes sense.
