HAW! Good one!
Don’t Reddit users, more or less, find the content, not create it?
Scott, that just makes them more reporters and less authors. Still means Reddit gets paid for their labor.

That doesn’t make Reddit users much like reporters, either. Reporters are the ones who write most of what Reddit points to. I’d say they’re part newsroom tipster, part commentator (without any need to be informed or coherent), part participants in editing-by-committee. Many roles, rarely played well.
As an aside, it’s bizarre that ‘designed by committee’ has eveolved into a put-down, while net.hipsters now hype editing or ‘content generation’ by committee.

>7. Don’t Reddit users, more or less, find the content, not create it?
There’s a fundamental error here. The Users are the Content. You know, medium is the message and all that.

Couldn’t the same be said for Google?

Using Wikipedia as the target of the supplied link is a particularly subtle irony, I’d say.

I thought you meant zaadz.com.

Wikipedia is a good point. If you think really hard—why, everything is a scam. Those people at Slashdot are making money off the hard-working people’s comments. And don’t even get me started on all those “forums” out there that pretend to foster a community but really are big money-farms. Gosh darn it, any website that takes user input better stay dirt-poor or compensate everybody.
Say—you better not be making any cash off my comment.
