I think we have gotten so good at creating those feedback loops that bring people back and plenty of people have written about this and talked about this. And this was one area where not intentionally, but Reddit was designed differently because it wasn't about real name and it wasn't about real photos and it wasn't about, hey, follow me, let me collect likes.

It was about, hey, we all like this community, let's share things about it that we care about. But generally speaking, it's still a black box and I'd like to keep it as much as possible. We even had that initial conversation of why it's so important, you know, to only be playing Roblox with Papa and Mama.

My take is I want to expose her to just enough that she can start to build that resilience or at least start to understand like, well, this is why you don't talk to random people on the Internet while still trying to preserve some amount of innocence, which is just such an awesome part of childhood. But at the same time, making sure she's steeled for the reality of what the world is like. But.

Probably my favorite application of the internet is every night I'll ask her a big question, and some nights she really doesn't want to, she doesn't have one. And so she'll just look at something on the table and be like, okay, where does salt come from, Papa? And I'll be like, okay, I see what you did. You just looked at the salt on the table, but that's fine. We'll find out.
