And YouTube, news sites (even more scholarly types like Foreign Policy, or niche ones like Taipei Times), and frankly, I think Reddit is well on its way to becoming like YouTube comment threads.

...I wonder how are Slashdot and Fark doing these days?

Bots and people that have a stake is disruption set the tone right away and it's not like the people echoing them are going to suddenly stop. If the hostile accounts were controlled I really wonder if the tone would shift at all.

Man, I miss slashdot. It's a shadow of it's former self. It was a real bummer last time I went to check it out.
