Upvoted existed because Alex at Paragon talked Alexis into it. Paragon didn't like the direction Upvoted was going, so Upvoted died. It's fair to say that Ohanian thought original content and journalism would be Reddit's savior - he fired Victoria a week after hiring away half of The Verge's video team.
