> "paid army of trolls" would definitely explain the campaign against her.

She banned a number of subreddits, including /r/fatpeoplehate and revengeporn. A move that strikes pretty deep at what people consider to be an open platform where votes define everything.

Subsequently she fired Victoria Taylor, an incredibly popular moderator at /r/ama.

This combined with the perceived idea that threads discussing these issues were being banned, caused a huge backlash against her.
