I wonder if there would be any value to go and start a bunch of new subs on reddit, with a very specific set of guidelines. Essentially an army of bots could populate these and it would serve as pure noise. A sort of DDOS if you will. I don't think this could affect big subs, but it would drown out any smaller subs. Anyways, it's just a thought.

Really? I thought Christian was done. I haven't seen anything about him making changes to Apollo's architecture or opening the source code.

My thinking is if you are looking for profitability through eyes on content (ads), then yes. However, I feel content creators are probably higher quality lurkers and I trust their upvotes and downvotes more.

You're right, this isn't a private club it's an open community. I'm not so sure simply having more upvotes makes content successful. I don't see the correlation between popularity and quality of content. If our content is good, we'll attract the right community.

I feel there's more nuance to this and this is an inaccurate and disingenuous generalisation.

A very small portion of baby boomers and gen x were involved in this compared to the masses who simply exist as sheep.

The "enlightened" ones are a minority in every generation from what I can see.

I also feel this whole my generation > your generation is just another mechanism of segregation. Instead let us bring forth our collective knowledge of setting VCR times and laugh about getting to the last floppy/stiffy disk in a set and finding corruption because... magnets.
