40x4500 or 40x450? I assume that's pixels? It seems like 40x4500 would be about a millimeter high and across an entire room :) Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks.

How did I never know this?

Signed up yesterday. So glad there's an alternative to Reddit. I was getting tired of all the negativity. I love that there are no downvotes here. It's so much better to have upvotes as you can tell popular posts and if you don't like something you can just not vote for it instead of bashing it with a down vote. I think downvotes also lead to manipulation of posts by being able to increase the discrepancy between posts making it easier to force a post higher by forcing others lower. I also really like the opt out vs. opt in system. After a year I still have no idea what all the subreddits were and kept being surprised when I found a new one that I was interested in. This way you can see right away what's available and then create a list of all those you want by slowly excluding those you don't. This means you won't miss any you want to follow. Thanks for creating this! I can't wait to learn more about it and read what others have posted here.

Oh my God! They removed 89 comments, articles and links though I followed their content policy! I had a run in with a moderator for a group and he banned me because I was upset that someone else had attacked me in an unbelievable manner calling me the C word then saying when someone's a C that means their mother was too! The commentor was some big reddinator and I got banned from the sub, But I didn't know I'd been banned from all the subs I had joined over the past 4 years! Including all of the stories I'd posted that were written by other people! I dropped off of reddit a while back but still, this is upsetting. It means months of work came to nothing because I didn't realize I had been shadow banned by every subred I participate in!

Okay, obviously this is intended as tongue in cheek and not meant to say that anyone said this directly. On Medium I noticed several pieces where the person basically said for people to submit stories to her and she would then add them to her publication where she would be paid every time they clapped for each of these other writer's stories. "why would someone send/share anything online and not expect it to circulate through the internet without the possibility of monetary gain." I would never expect everything I've ever put online would be taken and published under someone else's name for them to earn money from. In fact, that is called plagiarism. You can't just republish anything you want that is written by someone else to earn from. "She also thinks that even if someone is aware of this that its still wrong because they go unaccredited" I think that in terms of what we write, that we don't need let others take what we write so they can earn from it while we get nothing. I suppose if you really want to do all the work while someone else sits back and earns from it you can, but the point is that this implies that it's fine to do and I think most people would argue it is not. I have no idea how Santa got into the discussion of this article. Regarding the Happy Birthday song and the copyright issue, I don't think that the people the people singing happy birthday were doing so specifically to make money from not did they ask the person who wrote it specifically to do so then give it to them so they could earn money off of it, so this is not analogous.

I think you might want to take another look at the Pyramid of Debate before commenting on other articles.

"Leftists are a cancer - which is absolutely true objectively speaking." I think you need to look up the definitions of objective and subjective. This is an opinion not a fact. The question was how did these subsaidits make the world a better place? Helping to anger people and divide the left and right more and promoting ideas that leftists are a cancer IMO (see how that works?) doesn't make anything better at all, it all just creates more hatred.

Yeah, it was a pretty intense episode. Sometimes I think that the show was over the top but they also explored some pretty serious issues and did it in a way that made them more accessible to people who may not have understood the significance of them before. When you mention thinking it went to far and being Dutch is this because the Netherlands is more sexually progressive than the U.S.?
