"That’s how change enters into this world. Slowly at first, then on the front page of Hacker News."

How meta.

I didn't really understand that part. Care to explain?

  • Aggregate sites like Hacker News and Reddit make distribution of news and ideas very quick and viral compared to more organic growth such as word of mouth and google.

    • Not just distributed very quick but deemed worthy or unworthy very quick by the pseudo-meritocracy that is the "upvote".
