This link actually crashed my MacBook. WTF, Scribd. Worst YC funded project ever.
- Udo 16y agoDidn't crash for me, but just as annoying: stupid Facebook tracking scripts everywhere. Seriously, it's becoming even more pervasive than Google :-(
- ig1 16y agoScribd is actually the most successful YCombinator startup by number of page views (the 233rd most popular site in the world according to Alexa, only just pipping Reddit though). I imagine YC are very happy they funded Scribd.
- maxawaytoolong 16y ago233rd most popular site in the world according to Alexa Page views doesn't mean the site is any good. That ranking still puts them far behind sites like youporn and tube8, sites which have no redeeming value, but at least have never crashed my browser, much less my entire computer.
- puredemo 16y agoFree porn is a pretty redeeming value.
- someone_here 16y agoI have never had any website crash any device I have used. Ever. This sounds like a serious issue with your MacBook and not Scribd's problem.

- nestlequ1k 16y agoScribd is actually pretty cool, with some great tech behind it (yes, occasional bugs). Though I vehemently disagree with some of their business decisions. The idea of charging for download of other people's content just seems wrong. Ads = fine, charging for downloads = bad.
