I feel there’s more nuance to this and this is an inaccurate and disingenuous generalisation.

A very small portion of baby boomers and gen x were involved in this compared to the masses who simply exist as sheep.

The “enlightened” ones are a minority in every generation from what I can see.

I also feel this whole my generation > your generation is just another mechanism of segregation. Instead let us bring forth our collective knowledge of setting VCR times and laugh about getting to the last floppy/stiffy disk in a set and finding corruption because… magnets.

My thinking is if you are looking for profitability through eyes on content (ads), then yes. However, I feel content creators are probably higher quality lurkers and I trust their upvotes and downvotes more.

You’re right, this isn’t a private club it’s an open community. I’m not so sure simply having more upvotes makes content successful. I don’t see the correlation between popularity and quality of content. If our content is good, we’ll attract the right community.

Really? I thought Christian was done. I haven’t seen anything about him making changes to Apollo’s architecture or opening the source code.

I wonder if there would be any value to go and start a bunch of new subs on reddit, with a very specific set of guidelines. Essentially an army of bots could populate these and it would serve as pure noise. A sort of DDOS if you will. I don’t think this could affect big subs, but it would drown out any smaller subs. Anyways, it’s just a thought.
