Can users vote out the CEO?

Shareholders can.

Reddit doesn't have any shares or shareholders currently.

Yup, fully aware. I guess what I was trying to say was that there is a way to get rid of a CEO - own a lot of the business.

The venture capitalists can if they have a majority of the shares. Since Reddit raised $1.3B, I wouldn't be surprised if the VCs own more than 50%. The only exception would be if those shares by the VCs are non voting, but I can't see a VC buying non voting shares.
