I mean, I guess I can copy a bunch of unverified AskReddit thread responses, make a website, mix in some javascript, and get a bunch of news.ycombinator karma?

Like if OP had gone back and interviewed some of these people and got some validation they are who they say they are, sure.

Validation is something that will likely happen in the future. But I also think anonymity is important as well. So figuring out that balance is key.

You're right I should have tried to corroborate the Reddit users' stories. Sorry about that. However, many stories on the site are corroborated and will be going forward.

Is citing your sources in the plans "going forward"?
