Very well written.
Bill burr on his podcast was talking about, when he first discovered reddit. He couldn't understand what it was... He then realized later.. "it's a site for people that really like to type.. that's what it is.."
- danaliv 6y agoI like to think of Wikipedia as a site for people who like to correct other people.
- giantrobot 6y ago"Well actually..." given form.
- 29083011397778 6y agoI'd never actually tried to describe Reddit so succinctly; in the same vein as yours, maybe Reddit is just Jeopardy where every comment must be in the form of a correction. Perfectly accurate or not, I think the venn-diagram of "People unlikely to already know what Reddit is" overlaps heavily with "People who know and understand what Jeopardy is", making it an excellent analogy :)
- scrozier 6y agoOh, that cuts to the quick.
- ddingus 6y agoThis is brutal, and potent. Nicely done.
- anderspitman 6y agoOne of my favorite reddit shower thoughts: "Wikipedia built the biggest modern information hub using nothing but nerds' need to correct each other."
- danaliv 6y agoIt's really quite astonishing how powerful a force that is, and how well Wikipedia channels it toward something good!
