Why was the title changed from "Reddit CEO" to "I"? Seems very asinine.

When a story is written in the first person it's common for the title to say "I". Sometimes we put those in quotation marks but then we'd have nested quotes in this one.

As for why changed, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13027515 and the replies.

I think that logic is stupid and don't think your comments re: moderation of YC companies on HN are honest.
