Company entirely reliant upon an army of hard working volunteers makes some noise about listening. Noise is just air vibrations.

I remember reddit was constantly advertised by their users as a more "elite" platform and everyone was moving to it at digg 2.0 times. What I seriously started getting curious about is: Did the collective IQ level drop on Reddit, way before the API golden shot? I sometimes share my opinion there and very interesting things happen. They clearly "don't get it". The scene of my native language (Turkish) went totally hopeless. Think like Storm Front for Turkish audience. It all happened in 3–4 years, they say, after Bitcoin madness.
