Blog tries a new style of headline. You won't believe what happened next!

Just kidding! We'll try to stay away from Upworthy-style headlines in favor of our own style of click-baity headlines! (Just kidding again. Or maybe not. You'll just have to see what'll happen next on Neatorama!)

Maybe that you're hungry?

We do take readers feedback seriously, Coconutbrah :) And we do try to improve the blog whenever we can.

Topic overlap was something that I've looked into at great details in the past. It's actually quite surprising that we have very little overlap with Boing Boing, metafilter, digg, and reddit, given that all of us cover a huge number of topics every single day. But I suppose it's possible that certain things stick in your mind - so if we cover two reddit posts in a two days, that stands out (even though that meant an overlap of 2 out of 60 posts or just 3 percent).

As an aside, I've been a long time redditor (there from the beginning, we've actually had a deeper discussion and collab with the founders of reddit when they were small) and I've been happy with the explosive growth of the site, but at the same time dismayed at the meme-ification and Lolpic-ification that accompanied (or perhaps caused) reddit's growth. Reddit of today is nothing like the thoughtful geek-haven of yore.

Thanks again for the feedback - if you have any more, please let me know at any time :)

So, the Interweb survey is true!

But the machine gun turret would've come in handy!

Makes sense - thanks for the feedback. We'll try to refocus the blog more on its own OC.

Thanks for stopping by, Coconutbrah. I think we made no attempt to pass the post as our own - as Miss C noted, it clearly credited reddit and individual redditors. We always try to source the original content creator the best we can (unlike ahem, reddit and imgur - I lost count at how many times artists' artwork got posted without credit there).

In addition to sourcing posts from around the web, we also have long-form exclusive articles (each posted in full in one page, by the way, not split into multiple pages that make you click, click, and click.)

And yes, we do have ads. Unlike reddit, which is owned by the 52nd largest private company in the United States, we don't have a parent company that can foot the server bill. Hence, the ads. I wish servers don't cost anything, but reality is, we have to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of running this blog (you'd be surprised to learn that the server bill for a blog the size of Neatorama runs into the four digits every month).

You should still do it! I love the title!
