If the users have a contained place to vent their anger, then they’re not leaving the site. Afterwards everyone’s got whatever anger was there out of their system. I doubt the “fuck spez” comments hurt reddit at all, and probably barely made him feel bad.

Eh. Would you buy stocks/ads for a platform where the latest iteration of their most engaging and loved event was very heavily dedicated to expressing disapproval of the leadership? A platform that literally holds itself together thanks to the effort of that same complaining community?
Hell, at that point I’d buy ads on Facebook where much less users block them and they’re much more gullible.
To add to this very good point, it also fosters a sense of community. Nothing brings people together like hating a CEO. And hey, if you feel like part of a community, you’re less likely to leave.
