I hope this is a retaliation for the abhorrent behaviour of reddit users in blind smearing of innocent individuals in an attempt to prove the worth of social media/the internet/their "community". Information is dangerous when it is placed in the hands of these clowns and reddit needs to address their problems quickly before they ruin more lives.
Reddit used to be worthwhile and interesting until it became Digg v2. It's now just flooded with worthless content like rage comics to appeal to the lowest common denominator of internet "culture".
I wouldn't take their critique too seriously although I did get a chuckle out of a redditor blocking Hacker News for being too predictable.
