Anyone else tired of all of these reddit stories? There's like 2-3 a day at the top of HN with minimal new information, pretty annoying

this is a well known fact that he trumpets all the time. founders getting out of touch with their products isn't anything new.

Interesting just how similar his reaction is to what Ballmer's was when asked about the iPhone. "We like our strategy," comments about how it's so expensive (in fact giving almost precisely the same comparison; $99 vs. $

It's sort of like the Chinese government vs. Chinese people. I can hate what the government does without any malice towards a Chinese person. Same thing going on here -- the content that is produced by Reddit users is still just as val

Reddit doesn't care if the niches leave, they don't drive $ anyway

I don't even think it's true. Mods are cheaply replaceable, it's just an expedient dependency right now but not a necessity for them.

Reddit can pay mods, just like every other social network does. Not rocket science, and if they did it just for the top ones, wouldn't cost that much.

I started using it in my native language. The second sentence I spoke, it detected the first part correctly, but the second part it wrote in Chinese. The app told me sorry, I don't speak Chinese.

it doesn't require it, the model could ask you for more specifics as follow up question. the fact that it doesn't and just assumes all this info for "better" is the problem.

They probably don't care about that long tail. While valuable to individual users, I'm sure their business is an 80-20 like any other. For monetization, they just need to make sure the default subreddits stay moderated. Which they

How does anyone have any claim to 'their share' of resources without any input? Just by being in existence, they deserve to consume natural resources / technology? I don't see how that makes sense.

be careful with Zelle, if you send to the wrong person / get scammed, there's no way you're getting that money back. With Venmo / PayPal, you have a much better shot. https://www.aura.com/learn/zelle

how is it a con if it's a useful contribution? it's not my job to filter bot accounts used for starring repos. if a PR improves my project I'll accept it.

this is valuing a humans time of filtering through good and not good changes at 0. Imagine if you had to receive all email and judge each individual one for spam / not spam.

even if the CEO makes 10,000x more? if you annualize zucks net worth that's where he's sitting, and that ratio actually is pretty comparable to what it was during the lord/serf days.

sorry to hear about the overwork. 18 hours a day is likely a pretty big exaggeration, though (hopefully?) not purposeful. interesting graph for this -- https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/10&#x2F

with those resources, you can give me the Uber app from 2010. consumer expectations are much higher than 13 years ago and that's not going to cut it.
