I'm a little surprised that the New Yorker (although this is a New Yorker blog, so maybe it's not the "real" New Yorker) is doing the HuffPo/Gawker/Buzzfeed kind of "look what just happened on Reddit!" type of post. However, as a former reporter, I can understand the temptation of looking at reddit as a treasure trove of quotes and opinions that require no more than a few clicks to use in an article.
