It’s routine for even relatively unsuccessful posts and comments to get 1000+ views. Imagine that many people huddled around you in the real world hearing your take on the Reddit API changes or looking at the dumb meme you made in 5 minutes. That would be something, wouldn’t it? For some reason we don’t think it is just because it’s happening on the internet.

    That’s why I try to be interesting, even at the cost of things like accuracy sometimes. Since I’m not a technical guy, I don’t really benefit from either accuracy or precision. Instead I ply emotion, humor and some basic rationality to entertain and occasionally try to share something useful. And every once in awhile troll someone. We all have our roots.
