I've always felt like "Head of Community" is a weird job title. I mean, isn't a community, by definition, imply joint ownership by those in the community? Or if there must be a leader, then they have to be elected by the people to represent/lead them.

The whole thing just feels like you're being taken advantage through marketing. They foster that "community" feel without actually giving any control that a community collectively should have.

    Head of Community is simply the messenger between the King and the community.

"Don't do [a bunch of things that admins won't listen to proof of even if they were happening] or we'll ban you. Oh, and here have an ad-free badge of honour for being terrible subs, we'll subsidise you! Hey Jessica, please start handing out the badges."

Are the children of Reddit going to throw another tantrum?
