While it's important to have an open and honest 'town square' to share valuable information to the public, and fight tyrannical brainwashing, the social programming aspects can be dangerously distracting. When people pay more attention to their followers, and likes, and upvotes than the actual message content, it becomes a degrading pattern of Pavlov's dog-style manipulation based on a rewards system. The content on GAW is far superior and more information-focused, and, to some extent, the upvote/downvote system does help to self-moderate against idiocy. I can understand Woods' position. One needs self-care and a balanced personal life.
