you would believe how bad these guys are at understanding basic shit
[let’s see how long for this post to turn into a shooting gallery]
what do we pay this dang guy for, anyway
he has many responsibilities:
- sometimes he disagrees with an article title that’s entirely accurate and people aren’t buying his assertion that it’s clickbait, so he adds a question mark to it to try to make the article look less credible
- tone policing
- ignoring blatant flagging abuse
- adding sites and posters on YC’s shitlist to the autodead filter
- his bonuses are almost definitely predicated on how many of Garry Tan’s many fash friends feel comfortable posting on the orange site
