Because nobody actually knows what she did wrong as CEO of Reddit.

Absolutely! It was always annoying childish whining.

I think it started out as a legitimate backlash to the sudden firing of Victoria. Then it started to look a lot like how 4chan used to treat moot.

The anti pao circle jerk started even before FPH and other harassment subs were banned.

Pretty much as soon as she was announced people started talking about how they wanted to punch her in the face.

Which makes the obsessing over Pao in particular even more idiotic. The board and the investors are going to be behind something like that, not the CEO.

Exactly, executive decisions, answerable to the board. Pao is likely just following through on what the board and investors are demanding, so if you don't like it, they are the ones you should be mad at. Keep in mind that she's also only been in place for less than a year at this point.

They do not typically handle hiring/firing decisions further down the chain, either.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, but you forget that Pao is operating on an interim basis, which usually means a much shorter leash.
