Q&A: Matt Haughey on Trolls, Nonfriend Networks, and Why Buzzfeed Sucks

Wired: You founded Metafilter, a communal weblog, in 1999. For anything someone tosses out, there’s a really high chance that one in 10,000 people have done that exact same thing. I know people who handle comments for YouTube, and that must be the worst job in the world—it’s like gardening huge swaths of land, the size of several states. It seems that any time I look at somebody’s blog, it’s something beautifully developed and designed, and the last post was eight months ago. I go on Twitter 10 times a day, and if I really, really care about something, I’ll write it up on my blog, but that happens only once every few months.
