You could see this kind of thing happening with macro images on imgur and reddit 6 years ago. So much of this "organic" social media is just submarine PR. It's awful.
- TheAdamAndChe 6y agoWhat does "submarine PR" mean?
- searchableguy 6y agoI think they are referring to the submarine from pg's essay here: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
- KineticLensman 6y ago"... the existence of the PR industry, lurking like a huge, quiet submarine beneath the news". I agree, this interpretation seems more likely than submarine patent [0]: "Analogous to a submarine, therefore, submarine patents could stay "under water" for long periods until they "emerged" and surprised the relevant market. Persons or companies making use of submarine patents are sometimes referred to as patent pirates" [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_patent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_patent
