Darn that's sad as heck. I hope it's not a perma frick up.

Neighbors don't be archiving they sheiiiit

The YouTube SESAC thing and this within the same week… almost like They have a considerable amount of money on the line with this whole music rights situation

I also keep coming back to the metaphor that Reddit is a great deal like Gormenghast: an ancient, stony fortification of cobbled-together structures, housing a gaggle of idiosyncratic personas whose lives are filled with the performances of abstruse rituals and obligations, the mandatory detritus of a former glory — insular and in a state of glacial decadence, and which nevertheless has a secondary community plastered on its boundary, with which it perfunctorily yet regularly interacts AND YET all of which exists within a much wider world that has largely diverged from it.

I think about the Tower of Flints.
