The simplest part of the answer is that we started programming OkCupid back in 2003, which was a special time:
It was the dark age of the Internet: a difficult time to raise
money, it was harder to make money,
and serving costs were still high.
This plus the unique technical
challenges of OkCup...
I used to like Reddit. Similar to how I used to like Digg, and Slashdot. I can't figure out if sites get worse over time, or I just find better sites such that the old ones seem worse by comparison
Does HN get stories ahead of Reddit now? When I first tried HN it was essentially identical to Reddit but about two days later, so I stopped reading it really fast
So...what? I read that whole thing three times; is it a comment on the wrong link? It has 13 upvotes
