The reality is, there's still so much we haven't yet figured out. There's still so much stuff that has not been made more, frankly, efficient.

Facebook makes me hate the people I know, and Reddit makes me love the people I don't.

Everything is derivative. Everything is a remix, and we all stand on the shoulders of giants - a great phrase.

Can we imagine the United States without electricity? No, that would be pretty hard. Likewise, we can't really imagine being without an open Internet. The cost would be so grave, so serious.

It turns out the Internet is this amazing resource for everyone who has access to it.

I guess if you include contractors that are six or seven people working on reddit, but when we got acquired there were basically three and then in the years since, we've added three more developer hires full time, and a community manger. But the site is still remarkably small.

I think we are a better and a more efficient society when people actually get to do the things that they really are passionate about, and really are amazing at, because it's going to mean better stuff for us, too.
