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 you're doing a great job. Moderating threads and submissions that are basically guaranteed to be shitshows (like this one) is an incredibly thankless job.

Thanks for keeping it together, and thanks for keeping this from going off the rails.
