One of the things I think all social websites should take away from these rules is:
Processes that requires making value judgements do not easily scale.
There is so much in just this small list of changes that really cannot be automated or done without some kind of human interaction.

- s73ver_ 9y agoOne of the reasons why these problems got so big is that these companies tried to automate too much of it. Had they started with people moderating from the start, the kinds of problems they had likely wouldn't have taken hold in the first place.
