he has many responsibilities:

  • sometimes he disagrees with an article title that’s entirely accurate and people aren’t buying his assertion that it’s clickbait, so he adds a question mark to it to try to make the article look less credible
  • tone policing
  • ignoring blatant flagging abuse
  • adding sites and posters on YC’s shitlist to the autodead filter
  • his bonuses are almost definitely predicated on how many of Garry Tan’s many fash friends feel comfortable posting on the orange site
