It's always heartening to hear that people miss Culture Ramp. I think I probably have editing in my blood, but it's been nice just working as a writer for a while. I've also had a few op-eds at Polygon, so you can catch me there every so often as well.

I think the Reddit founder was probably right about subreddits contributing to the site's popularity. Some of the most popular platforms on the Web are built on internal contradictions. It's part of what gives them traction, since it gives the platform a kind of problematic texture, something to work out. People love a puzzle.
