Ha! The only reason I clicked on Comments here was to say, "I feel the same way about Reddit that this guy does about Twitter." Paid for Reddit gold, got the same lousy site availability.

I used to be in Web publishing. I understand how difficult it is to make money off of smart people on the Web. They know how to block your ads, and even if they refuse to block them, they ignore them. The real money is in stupid people who use IE6 and click on everything that blinks.

If it were easy to figure this shit out, there would be a lot more valid competition.
