It was not quite a year ago when I posted about the seemingly downward spiral that post-modern online culture is taking (Has Gamer Culture Gone Out of Control?) and linked to Why the Trolls Will Always Win on Wired.com.
Now, following a very controversial run as interim CEO of Reddit, Ellen Pao has published an opinion piece on the Washington Post: The trolls are winning the battle for the Internet

Other observations in general:

- Video gaming culture now has become entrenched and the new "elevator music" will soon be theme songs from Zelda and Super Mario
- Almost every daily task is becoming "gamified"
- Cell phones aren't really telephones anymore, they're really micro-computers that you can sometimes talk to someone with
- People rarely "talk" to each other anymore, it's a text or a tweet
