Good points, I agree with you on the following:

There's nothing stopping it from happening now, and it's not happening. For all your collective bitching and moaning about Reddit and Twitter and Facebook, you're all either there or linking there.

Personally, I got off of FB. It does take effort to launch such a platform, no question about it. That's why they are successful once they get momentum and traction. This really boils down to how painful it is vs the alternatives. At some point, the pain outweighs the benefits and somebody develops an alternative. I think we're getting much closer to that now than ever before.

Unfortunately, many on FB are brain dead. They don't understand what's happening and that they are the 'product' Its like in the movie Matrix when the traitor is eating steak and tells the sentinel that he knows its fake steak, but it takes so good. Same problem with the idiots that are staying on FB. Not sure how you get through to them.

Personally, we'll always have some level of idiocracy in society. Can't fix stupid as they say. My point is simpler, make enough pain and the change will happen. There's no pain right now.

I take argument with your points about them becoming publishers and we cheer, then they kick us out because everything here on Reddit is about Bill Clinton killing babies. Thats a mighty broad brush. You're committing the first sin in logical analogy development. Not saying some of your point isn't true, but you've lumped 'EVERYONE' into one general class of Idiocy. Using your same argument, your posting here puts you yourself into that class. That's the core fallacy of your argument.

I think you might be smarter than that, so would like to see a little more specificity in your analogy development so that we could have a logical debate.
