Pass the reefer, man!
You are a dreamer, aren't you? (good for you!)
There are plenty of fat cats here, though. I find MONEY altogether mentioned an awful lot in a place that's supposed to be about sharing something more subtle.
There is way too much good content being wasted. It's the wastefulness and lack of consistent and dedicated attention that I find doesn't makes this site different enough by far.
Never noticed advertising elsewhere.... adblock maybe?
I can most assuredly feel a centre regulating the vibe and curbing totally free expression.
But granted, we might as well start here - afresh-ish - if we are to start somewhere. (A lot of people come here with much YouTube and FaceBook history and active followers already, so some kind of collaboration of various media sites is still very much the name of the game).
