I seem to recall reading that the city of SF (or another municipality?) had conducted a study that found, perhaps counterintuitively, that improving taxi service would actually end up increasing transit ridership and…
Just out of curiosity (not interested in joining the debate)—do you mind if I ask whereabouts do you live? Bay area, east coast, somewhere else?
I suspect it’s more that image macros and memes appeal to a wider audience than does the kind of carefully curated news, analysis, and longform content that the NYT produces. I guess I’m not really sure where to begin…
“Distinct” would do, I suppose, as surrender to the language prescriptivists.
I don’t want to derail this topic any further, but I’m quite familiar with reddit, and I would disagree that “reddit as a whole” is very heterogeneous or representative of the vast diversity of younger Americans. At a…
Well, this is a bit tangential, but I wonder if it’s true that reddit’s intolerant culture (extending far beyond “insensitive humor”) really doesn’t matter. A community like reddit, I think, would be so much more useful…
Yes, I’ve met some relatively decent neo-Nazis too.
This comment is pretty hilarious (though not for the reason you apparently intend).
So your parent comment is derogatory and wrong, but your comments about unwed parents, government employees, and “the racial makeup of prison… after you started giving smarter people lesser sentences” aren’t? Did I miss…
/r/all is the internet’s largest right-wing community, on any manner of subjects from race relations in America, to multiculturalism in Europe, to feminism and women’s rights anywhere. Last time I visited was around the…
Well, the way I look at it, I don't see a problem with building on other people's attempts. I'm dying to know how anyone's managed to implement (e.g.) 11-byte email validation, and if I can find an even shorter…
This is awesome. What I'd want most is in the quiz, I'd love to see how others are coming up with shorter regexes than mine. Satisfy my curiosity and competitive spirit.
The voting majority of reddit users.
Good for you, I guess?
Who on earth would want to advertise on reddit, given the site’s thoroughly unpleasant audience, the notoriety of which has been growing by the month? Reddit might be able to court the same sponsors (porn sites and…
Redditors are a shit audience that commands shit rates from advertisers, because the only businesses willing to buy space on reddit are those with nothing to lose by association with that virulently misogynist, racist…

Look again! Your HN is now reddit.
When was the last time your typical redditor read anything from The Atlantic or Businessweek? On reddit, high-quality content bans itself.
You left out: * “Equal rights, equal lefts” * DAE think Black History Month is racist against whites? * Rage comic about “females” spurning nice-guy redditors * Image of fat black woman in a motorized scooter -…
Apropos reddit, here’s how Alexis Ohanian deflects the blame from redditors onto the victims of their creepy facebook-stalking and harassment: “Your kids need to know that any time they take an image and put it in a…
Not only that, but if reddit started carrying those ads appropriate to its demographic, it would face a massive revolt from its own users. Redditors get irrationally angry at reddit whenever an ad targeted at them so…
Given reddit’s content and its demographic appeal, I’d guess it’s got about as much revenue potential as 4chan, which is to say, barely any at all. Perhaps even less, considering Condé Nast won’t let reddit run ads from…
Link, as requested: http://blog.reddit.com/2010/07/experts-misunderestimate-our-... I would just add that reddit’s difficulties selling its ad space—they’ve had to resort to serving Flash games and pretty pictures just…
From what reddit’s admins have stated, Condé Nast has been unwilling to let reddit undercut its other properties on ad rates—they want reddit to be a “premium brand,” like the New Yorker or Vogue. Anyone who’s waded…
