Similar to redditors as in educated, technical and young? Or is this some sort of reference to the liberal bent of the site's users?

I really can't tell what exactly you're alluding to.



I'm assuming it's the "demographic of people who know how to make a blog post and submit it to a popular news aggregator".

But that's just my read of the comment.

Edit: Oh, and pitchforks. 80% of the Reddit demographic keeps a pitchfork in their closets for internet mobs.


Judging from his other comments, I think he just means white, male, tech-enthusiast twenty-somethings without much money. Sell to underserved people with lots of money to throw around and a track record of spending it (instead of people you would hang out with) is the advice patio11 always gives.


Very little money, feel very entitled to suberb service from technical things and anti-commerical and dislike paying a lot for what, in their eyes, is "just simple web hosting"
