} Reddit is a classic example of this approach.
When Reddit first launched, it seemed like
there was nothing to it. To the graphically
unsophisticated its deliberately minimal design
seemed like no design at all. But Reddit solved
the real problem, which was to tell people what
was new and otherwise stay out of the way. As a
result it became massively successful.
I'm not quite sure Reddit is exactly "massively successful." They just posted the other day about how they aren't making any money. In a capitalist sense, it's not very successful if they aren't making any money. Spend a few dollars, get a dozen good songs in your possession, or
Spend the next four hours on the Web trying to find those songs performed by some obscure local artists.
The answer is obvious.
The answer isn't so obvious. First, you don't get 12 good songs, you get one good song and 11 lousy ones. And yes, most would rather go home and type in the lyrics they heard to figure out what the song and artist is, or simply do without than pay $20 to get one good track.
