Lies.

I guess I don't understand how it is different or better from Google's perspective for its users.

Is the main benefit you don't know the exact site you visited but the type of site and basically all the contents or "topics" of it?

Not looking to flame. Genuinely looking for just the rundown explanation // privacy benefits // etc..

Interesting piece but is more just a bunch of personal feelings on various sites.

My point was highlighting how strange it has been reading commentary of the event online. I mean no offense at all (!) but even your comment plays into it perfectly in a way.

Almost as interesting as this story has been the comments online.

Everyone, everywhere just parroting and re-parroting the same comments, attitude, pretending to understand the engineering with snippets from comments they’ve read, reactive talking points, etc…

Very strange.

Did anyone else feel like an alien following this story online?

Ah, maybe. I see it differently though. reddit has never been about authentic content.

- When they started, I believe they boasted creating fake accounts to mimic engagement to help grow community

- It is painfully obvious the amount of political, gov sponsored, and corporate astro turfing that “gets through”. Both human and bot comment farms are real and have no doubt been artificially bolstering ideas and content for years

As I see it…

They have enabled this / looked the other away at this behavior forever in exchange for engagement. The super high tech AI chat bots are probably going to be welcomed for their clever content (hence why CEO could care less about its users anymore).

Their real value has always been having a controlling voice and being able to push viral ideas. The data thing is all hype noise IMO. It was never going to be a serious part of their IPO. Big messy gross company.

I’m commenting a bit late but still want to share some thoughts for some readers hopefully.

Life is weird. Business is weird. Relationships are weird. Opportunities are weird. School is weird. Etc.

Some things, identical as can be, can work for people while doing nothing for others. Everything impacts at different rates.

The one constant is you get out of it what you put into it.

The Y program is by design not going to churn 100% results for everyone for — both the investors and the startups.

You get a shot and you take it and move on. Best of luck to you all.

This is fantastic! Love your work on this. I definitely see the future of web development being a version of this.

Make something messy, let AI iterate through ideas, repeat.

Congrats and seriously impressive stuff. Best of luck with it
