Reddit CEO admits to altering user comments that were critical of him

And without an "edited" mark, which means that any comment of any user can be covertly modified by an admin. Very concerning since Reddit comments have provoked even Congress hearings: http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/296680-house-pan...

He changed a 'F U CEO' (upvoted by 1.6k users) comment to 'F U unpaid reddit moderator', without any indication that the comment was edited.

Very juvenile and unprofessional way of dealing with the situation, really erodes trust in the platform (simply deleting the comment would have been a better response).

Would maybe expect this from the founder of a young fledgling startup, but the 33 year old CEO of a company like Reddit ought to know better.

To he honest, he was one of the founders of Reddit.

And here he is boasting about knowing "all your dark secrets" at TNW - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lALKRayDLuk - meant in jest but shows incredibly poor judgement as a CEO

Anybody can go through the comment history of any redditor and know their dark secrets.

I don't mind Reddit fucking up. If they were competent they would have monetized the users a long time ago and it would be an broken mess that feeds daily spam to my inbox like every other social media platform. Reddit is too valuable to take seriously.
