Why are we to take yishan as an authority on content moderation, have you BEEN to reddit?! the kind of moderation of repetitive content he's referring to is clearly not done AT ALL.
He does not put forth any constructive advice. be "operationally excellent". ok, thanks. you're wrong about spam. you're wrong about content moderation. ok, thanks. who is his audience? he's condescending the people who are dialed into online discourse inbetween finding new fun ways to plant trees and design an indulgent hawaiian palace. i expected more insight, to be honest. but time and time again we find the people at the top of internet companies are disappointingly common in their perspective on the world. they just happened to build something great once and it earned them a lifetime soapbox ticket.
