I wish words could convey how frustrating it was to chat with one community manager after another, listing the same psychologists, the same social experts, the same theoreticians and saying "you really need to make this thing more human for the sake of the Internet" over and over again only to hear "hmm, yeah, you're right, we'll get right on that" and then have nothing change. They don't care. They never did. And "they" is basically Alexis and Steve now, and they never did. There was a sweet spot where Reddit attracted interesting people and repelled the Youtube commenters. 2008, 2009 maybe. The LimeyDid you ever dream about a place you never really recall being to before? A place that maybe only exists in your imagination? Some place far away, half remembered when you wake up. When you were there, though, you knew the language. You knew your way around. That was the sixties.

Terry Valentine: No. It wasn't that either. It was just '66 and early '67. That's all there was.
