    When the internet became more of a common thing, I really believed that it would bring people together. That all everyone needed was to be exposed to information. That seems so very naive now.

      I don’t think it’s super naive back in the day. It would be really hard to imagine that information could be gamed to such a degree. I think more exposure to real data would have had a positive impact.

        That’s kind of you to say. There was definitely no way I could have foreseen what the Web 2.0 era would be like.
