The internet was a mistake
WikiFeet even have reasonable rules, only post people who have an IMDB profile. I'm sure there are a bunch of rules they violate, in terms of copyright and so on, but they're at least trying to be reasonable and impose some guidelines that aren't total off.
It awesome and the interview with the guy just makes it better. He's not trying to hurt anyone, he's aware of the issues and have good answers. It's wonderful that for once you do get this retard answers as to why. Mostly it's just idiots who answer "I don't know" or "I just felt like it".
I absolutely love this, that article made me a little happier this morning.
I would take the: "put her name in IMDB" to mean he just did a search. On first reading like you I did think that meant he created an IMDB entry, but the 2nd part of the sentence changed my mind.
But tbh
> I’m not hurting anybody, I’m not robbing banks. Just let it ride.
He's got a point there. Better this than some pedophile bbs on tor.
Society was always idiocracy, it was just obscured. If anything, the internet is one of our hopes for improving things.
But change is rarely short and painless.
The jury is still out on that.
What has been clear over the last decade or two is that facts, reason and logic doesn't automatically win in the "marketplace of ideas".
And despite how we feel about it, the solution will probably be what we've always done: we promote what we think are good things and demote what we think are bad things (i.e. if you want to take it to the extreme, you can call it censorship, propaganda, etc.). The internet is also slowly getting filtered and I don't think we're losing much for it. Most of the stuff out there is garbage, as you've noticed.
