I read that. That's unfortunate, but such par for the course for reddit. It's an absolutely dangerous shithole now.
Just don't set your expectations too high. Find reddits that you can form a community with people with shared interests. Be funny and clever and people will get your jokes. Overall though it's a trainwreck. Their model is basically anarchy with millions of page view a month as far as the subreddit system goes and the moderation system is godawful. I really wanted to say how disappointed I was by that interview. I'm not sure what I expected since the guy was called a liar by multiple people, is a liar from what I heard from him and has had 15 years to work on the lies in the interview. When I was listening to the show though I had to remind myself that high school kids are naive so he probably did think he was tough shit and facing serious time for selling weed. He makes it out like he was running a major operation. Out of his grandmother's house. Without her knowing it. Great series, not totally satisfying but that leaves you with larger questions since it has no answers and is reporting.
I think that ending was good, because it didn't try to make up some fake, neat and tidy ending that makes it feel complete when it's not, and there never will be full answers. Just enough that 'he should probably have been acquitted'. That's all that can be said, really. Out of curiosity, are you the tacocat from photoshopbattles as well? I've been around reddit for nearly seven years, so I've... Seen a lot of shit there. If you are your namesake, then you are one of the bright points!
