I got the same feel. He focuses so much on words like "value" and "gain". It's almost like he's running a generic company in a vacuum, not a platform where people share their thoughts and feelings. Instead of trying to mitigate the core issue (his ego and attitude), he unsuccessfully attempts to convince everybody he's making good business decisions. The dude's pathetic, if anything. Too bad his team doesn't see him doing it wrong either.

There is no worse enemy than an friendly idiot

As much as the thought may be comforting, it might take a long time for the site to really go to shit, if it will ever. Most likely, not a lot would change

This. That's one of the dilemmas with making clones of people. It's already hard to pinpoint that exact integrity of a human (cells are constantly changing) and replacing them altogether just doesn't make sense anymore. Pragmatically speaking, it won't benefit you at the slightest, but, provided your clone is the exact copy, your friends might not see the difference. Even still, would they still be your friends whilst knowing the "true" you is gone?

Yep, I need a big man to explain that all to me. The interface is confusing. No app client. If anything, it all feels raw and uncoordinated
