    brainless masses

    You sound like a lovely, humble person who never screams at their loved ones

      I think their overall point is that there can be some sites that are more niche and serving certain communities/groups of people, that not everything needs to be the biggest thing ever with millions of users. Where everyone is shouting over each other and the original idea or spirit of the place ends up lost.

      I would never say the masses shouldn’t have access to the internet, but if the comment is coming from a place where an alternative to Reddit doesn’t need to have as many users or be as mainstream I can get behind that. Sometimes when the floodgates are opened a place just isn’t the same anymore and loses sight of what made it great.
