Not sure if you are mocking reddit or trying to help reddit and hurt hacker news. Reddit is an important part of hacker culture and has plenty of insightful information. I thought that was a good TLdR actually. Summaries are important.

Anyway back to point: article is complaining that meritocracy doesn’t remove class hierarchy, it just reorganizes their classes. Ok, so what ? People are still free to find other tribes that cross meritorious classes, like on reddit or hacker news.
