It's a much bigger idea than this one list, however people don't seem to 'get it' unless I show them an example list on a topic they love. I want to do the same for all of Voat. And then all of reddit. And then...well, I

Those places don't have a $10 Billion valuation. That gets articles written, not a novel idea.

More accurate title: "Amazon didn't hire me. During my interview, they asked about a Chrome extension I built that detects bad reviews."

If you have a solution, this is the best way to do it. You won't get the reputation points for it but when somebody is Googling for that problem, they will be happy you stuck it on your blog. That is the goal, isn't it? To help pe

With regard to Victoria, she ran the AMA's and was very popular with redditors. Think of it like a sports team cutting a really popular player, without offering an explanation. The fanbase would be really unhappy about that. And this i

I would say it's a good start. Where she goes from here will be what matters. If she goes silent in the weeks and months ahead it will be clear this was just damage control. If she regularly engages the community, as she should, then s

Then the question would be, 'why isn't this person investing in Bitcoin if they believe in it so strongly?'

I don't believe his identity is public but unless Atko has been spinning an elaborate lie, plenty is known about him and Voat. He's a Swedish student who went to college in Switzerland and this was a side project that blew up on h

If they started charging a monthly fee to use the app enough people would stick around that they'd be able to buy a sizable % of all the liquor stores in the USA. How many, I don't know. That would make an interesting interview qu

All they'd have to do is start running ads to show how absurd what you just said is. I find it laughable that in 2015 people are still claiming companies strategically delaying monetization have worthless businesses. They care about lo

So first you wanted to know if they had revenue. You got our answer and now you want to know why so many people are paying them money. You know the answers to all of these things. Just come out and say what you think about Github and their

Right, that's what the conspiracy theorists always say on reddit, too. Ignoring my argument completely and bringing up shadowbanning. Let's see your proof that people are getting showdowbanned for criticizing Pao. You have no proo

I don't know if it's reasonable or not but it is not happening. Every time it is subreddit moderators removing stuff that violates their own rules. Then the second it goes down everybody blames Pao automatically. Just like today.

That explains a lot. I have a few users whose submissions to my sub are always flagged as spam even though they are fine. They must be shadowbanned. Interestingly, one of them submits awful content. It's not spam but he is absolutely t

That happened to some guy and he kept using reddit as normal for three years until he found out. Took it pretty well. His history is painful to look at. Just talking to himself, nobody ever responds or upvotes him. Was in /r/TIFU

Yes, theoretically they could. And banning users. If they were abusing that, we'd know about it. There would be a shitstorm just like this. There has not been. I reported a user harassing me all over reddit, stalking me everywhere I we
