It's a much bigger idea than this one list, however people don't seem to 'get it' unless I show them an example list on a topic they love. I want to do the same for all of Voat. And then all of reddit. And then...well, I'd better not say lest you think I'm crazy :)

Those places don't have a $10 Billion valuation. That gets articles written, not a novel idea.

More accurate title: "Amazon didn't hire me. During my interview, they asked about a Chrome extension I built that detects bad reviews."

If you have a solution, this is the best way to do it. You won't get the reputation points for it but when somebody is Googling for that problem, they will be happy you stuck it on your blog. That is the goal, isn't it? To help people?

With regard to Victoria, she ran the AMA's and was very popular with redditors. Think of it like a sports team cutting a really popular player, without offering an explanation. The fanbase would be really unhappy about that. And this is what reddit does when it's unhappy about something.

The Ellen Pao stuff is complicated, she does have some fault for being the one who made unpopular decisions and the way she managed the process (particularly extremely poor communication) but in general I agree that she gets way too much criticism from the community. She's very unpopular for a bunch of things that are not actually her fault (like people who incorrectly think she censors reddit).

I would say it's a good start. Where she goes from here will be what matters. If she goes silent in the weeks and months ahead it will be clear this was just damage control. If she regularly engages the community, as she should, then she'll be on the right track.

See Zuck and his regular 'town hall meetings' on his public news feed. She does nothing like that. The only times we hear from her are when she has an announcement or is forced to respond to heavy criticism.

Thanks for the link, I didn't see that.

Then the question would be, 'why isn't this person investing in Bitcoin if they believe in it so strongly?'
