mircea_popescu: exactly like
reddit, a website someone made in the hopes of becoming a millionaire.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but anyway, no. "graduate student" is 100% the human composition of wikipedia,
reddit etc.
shinohai:
reddit would sell it out within minutes.
davout: the thing that amuses me, is that they seem to be rehashing exactly the same nonsense as proper bitcoin
reddit was doing 3 or 4 years ago
wer: someone on
reddit sent it to me months ago
ag3nt_zer0: to be clear i was re-reading pete's article and followed the
reddit link to the guy who lost the 4BTC and it was this comment that got me all wound up: "The passphrase has to be random (and necessarily, difficult to memorize). There is no way around this, period. If the prospect of memorizing 12 random words is daunting to you (and it should be - if you forget it, your money is gone), then don't use a brain wallet."
mircea_popescu: "i wouldn't live on a place where
reddit bags aren't visible from shore"
shinohai: Post on
reddit "Free cruise on the S.S. TMSR! For details go to #trilema on freenode!"
mircea_popescu: tbh, by comparison with the volume of spurious strings pasted into shitsites, the amount of idle for loops executed to date seems dismall. less
reddit more foring.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 16:59 mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the bait and switch thing.
reddit started life as a sort of 4chan with a jump, ie the little girl's not on the page, but you have to click. this wasn't accidental, because their phase 2 ("growth phase" eh) consisted of the exact value proposition : add your crap to
reddit, watch people click on it. once growth stopped they dropped the bait, switched to "we will control the conversation in this ever-so-importan
davout:
reddit's confusion over buttcash's fork is very entertaining
mircea_popescu: left to its own devices, preteen believes the tv box, too ; and shit it read on
reddit and etcetera.

reddit but I thought it was something where people asked questions and then their comments were voted up/down ?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729212 << no that thing is experstsexchange.
reddit originated as a sort of fark, "look at this cool pic" tho it originally was more like original wikipedia, "look at this cool pic of a 6 yo with her mother's toenail polish bottle up her snatch" ; migrated into a sort of livejournal "write lengthy pieces of nonsense so everyone's tulpas can pompously opine on it" sometime in the mid 2010s.

reddit didn't exist at the time we're discussing in any practical sense above "this obscure website some pedos gathered on to exchange their trading cards". it was something in the vein of metafilter i guess, or else something in the vein of digg, or else you know, one of the first sites making the transition from myspace/tripod/facebook to the latter style
reddit/facebook/etcetera.
☝︎ diana_coman: well, approximations can make or kill a thing, but otherwise I guess you can call it that then (though by this token I'm not sure one won't be able to approximate almost any online thing to "a
reddit")

reddit and gain a lot of karma points
shinohai: Even tho mircea_popescu gave me that God account, i spend little time on
reddit:/
mircea_popescu: italo calvino somewhat an echo for the contemporanous
reddit ; but otherwise the kingdom of two sicilies excelled, before "italy industrialized" post ww2.
mircea_popescu: and why
reddit has "community guidelines" and so following.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> did anyone else want
reddit accounts ? << If they are anything like mine comes with bonus long walk to sanity through personal transformation
mircea_popescu: let us rephrase then. "whereas the perception in silicon valley spam farms, like facebook, huffpo,
reddit, wikipedia etc".
a111: Logged on 2017-10-10 15:39 mircea_popescu: so in other lulz, i'm buying some 10k+ karma

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other lulz, rando sent me "seo report" re trilema that shows my "organic competitors" whatever that is. they are, in order : google, youtube, wikipedia,
reddit and facebook.
mircea_popescu: so basically
reddit sucks at everything, including its purported purpose in life ?
BingoBoingo: and the discussion is over the same qntra piece, submitted to the alt-
Reddit with the same title to samely title /conspiracy
BingoBoingo: The upvoats don't lie.
Reddit's been eclipsed hard by the conspirator community
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if the story-field is
reddit, instagram et all, have to factor in that if it's not a good story then why are people reading it and simple minds don't know a good asshole from a hole in the over the top ground.
mircea_popescu: "oh, why must go to seminar on dating advertised on
reddit, to find out where womenz are. NEVER STEPPED OUT OF HOUSE ?!?!?!!"
mircea_popescu: you know, the
reddit guiys would never guess, but actually a lot of girls do ?
mircea_popescu: can't build fucking "intellectual leadership" out of lazy rewrites out of the slime that comes out of tardstalk/
reddit when squeezed.

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, apparently 90% of
reddit advertising is bitcoin-scams, bitcoin-alts, i-cant-believe-it's-not-bitcoins and other such nonsense.
mircea_popescu: " Our goal: smack-dab in the middle of a public

☟︎ mircea_popescu: pillhead chemistry is a whole 'nother thing. tempting today to just call them redditards, but in fact before
reddit welcomed them all into their proper home they existed just the same, dispersed in the population and unnamed
