Reddit’s value has never been in the “average redditor” or the “popular subs”. The real value is in the niche tail of communities and the fact that they have such a massive amount of people that even if “only” 10% of their users were decent people, it still meant that they had enough decent people to talk with something to contribute.

Yeah, I don't use Reddit any longer, but it was really great that there were active subs devoted to incredibly obscure topics. If you wanted to talk about something, chances were that thousands of other people did too.

Yes, the whole thing is especially frustrating because the app was quite nice. Harriette did a really good job really quickly.

Not much good at anything, but incredible at self-promotion so people think he is

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. He’s got the sensibility of a teenage boy. He thinks things like the letter X and the color black are totally cool, and he thinks naming his company “Space-Sex” and one of its spacecraft “Big Fuckin’ Rocket” is the height of humor.

Because they are quoting the organization that canceled their event.

Conservative is a misnomer, really. They don't want to conserve anything. They are trying as hard as they can to wreck it all.

Palm Pilots seemed so futuristic back then.
