Interesting that he mentions that CEOs can be removed by their shareholders, which is quite similar to how reddit currently works-mods can be removed by reddit itself. The “users voting mods out” analogue in the business world would be employees having to power to vote out and replace their CEOs.
Person with power: CEO::mod

Sounds to me like spez just made a pretty compelling aruguement that his employees should be able to vote him out!
There is a company in switzerland (i think?) that does it. So the employees vote on whos gonna be boss for the next year and whos gonna get hired and all that stuff, not just voting out.
I have seen a documentary about it and they all were VERY happy to work in that enrivonment

I adore the way you think, sincerely. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful world, where employees could vote management/leadership out of their positions?
What a fantastic idea.
Again, sincerely, no sarcasm!
