Do you have an opinion whether this kafkaesk bureaucratism is especially well established in the domain of software or is it a broader pattern? Where does this come from?
I think the code is less interesting then the (graphic) design and some of the wording (kharma) that people are used to. And maybe further expressions like AITA or /r/whathever. How is the legal situation here I wonder
One interesting (maybe obvious) point Louis was making: This company and brand is worth nothing without its user. There is simply no interesting tech here.
That leads to the question: What would it take to create a website that is similar enough, to make user instantly feel at home, but different enough to not get into legal trouble?
