Thiel has the ability to take this whole place down. What are your thoughts on this? Would it be worth it? Or is it more valuable to have this sandbox around?
Are you talking about the media's logical fallacy that the Hulk Hogan thing puts freedom of speech at risk? You do realize that a video of a person having sex is not speech and is not protected by the 1st amendment?
It's become obvious to me that there are admins or people who have access to the servers directly who are gaming and manipulating the site. Shocker, I know. There are certain strategies one could employ to demonstrate this in a completely conclusive way without need for any internal reddit data. If someone like Peter Thiel were shown these strategies he would have the means to utilize them. The application of this could take this site down, as with Gawker.
My question is this. Is it worth having this site, abused as it is from the inside, around? Is there educational value in it? Or should it be exposed?
Who the fuck is Peter Thiel and why is this important? Context... What are you talking about? Sorry, I live under a rock, literally and quit figuratively....
maybe thiel can make us a distributed reddit. and promote it enough to give us the eyeballs to make migrating worthwhile.
distributed youtube, too, while i'm making requests. we gotta make moves.

are you arguing with your own strawman? if so, well done

Since you didn't provide a real question/argument I was just left to assume what you were trying to imply. So technically yes.

good luck with that. you'd best be figuring out rationalizations that the angry public would buy rather than trying to chat with me about it

what the fuck does thiel have to do with reddit?
2 whipnil 2016-05-27
OP is making sure plenty by being his cheerleader and shit talking to people who want to have a constructive discussion. See where this one goes.
3 Nogrim3 2016-05-27
frankly Gawker were gigantic cunts outing him when they did, they deserve every fucking ounce of karma he can throw back at them.
those idiots should be sued until they are out of business, fucking rag of a tabloid
