The covert advertisements masquerading as comments and posts used to drive me nuts when I was on Reddit years ago. The whole place is designed for mind control -- control the topics, control who posts, control who reads, control what they read.

I was on there for about the first 12 years. Those first waves of school kids before the Digg invasion were doing heavy damage. Probably even more so than "Aaron Swartz" did with his whole 'reddit-founder' scam.

But I will say that I owe my entire coffee setup to r/coffee. The locally light-roasted beans. The "Baratza Encore Conical Burr Coffee Grinder". The $9.99 French Press. The Bonavita BV382510V 1.0L Digital Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle. A gram scale to weigh the beans. And a (liveleak) mug. It's unfortunate that even the informative subs are populated by "redditors". That was one of the last subs I read before finally abandoning reddit entirely.

Had already given r/tea the boot when they began accepting posts about tea in bags...

But yes, pretty much everyone owning, working at, or employed by reddit should be meinkrafted in real life. Anyone living an undercover life as a secret conservative should recognize the risks they're taking as an "apparent" enemy combatant. For referencing their current location in the near furture, this article about their upcoming move is relevant: https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Reddit-leases-office-in-SF-s-Mid-Market-14487015.php
