No, the core problem is the Glastonbury Fryers are all there has ever been, and every now and then they pull someone aside and say "here's minimum wage, how'd you like to be responsible for this travesty?"

Anyone who has ever volunteered at a festival can guess how that works.

Alexis and Steve are die-hard libertarians. They firmly believe that if you structure it properly it will run itself... and if what's there isn't working, then it hasn't adapted to the structure properly.

Reddit reflects the culture it can afford, which is a poorly-run volunteer-heavy staff-light cacophony of unbridled IdSpeak. Back when it had 100th as many people you could still hear occasional brilliance but it's long since been drowned out by the chavs.
