I agree the popcorn is growing stale. I feel bad for Victoria I guess. I do worry what this means for social media in general. I love Hubski but isn't it inherently doomed to suffer the same maladies?

You mean that Hubski is going to take on VC, get bought buy a huge media corporation and then get a HUGE VC infusion and then mk is going to fire me and you are all going to revolt?

Say it aint so mk.

I'm not worried about all that here really. I have nothing but love for you guys. I just worry about entropy inherent in the system.

Yeah, I think Reddit may be the nail in the coffin that proves that open internet forum communities are not a viable business model. The only way to maintain such a community would be as non-profit oriented projects funded by a combination of donation drives, ads, and "freemium" perks.
