There are two things I dont want anybody seeing: my browsing history and my hidden folders.
Or as one Hacker News readereloquentlyput it, its astrology for people who think theyre too smart for astrology.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Anyways, I ran my account through the analyzer.
Basically all the qualities that make me thehard-hittingtechnologyjournalistthat I am.
More alarmingly, though, the tool indicates Ive got a controversiality level of 12.4%.
Is that bad, can it influence my future in a negative way?
But what better way to find out than compare my scores to those of celebs with Reddit accounts?
Lets start with someone whose Reddit history got them in trouble, 2016 US presidential debate superstar Ken Bone.
(Those are the words of the New York Post, not mine.)
Anyways, lets see how controversial Bone is.
Only 1 measly percent thats 11% less than my score.
But what if its just a fluke?
I should probably try some other celebs.
Lets get into it.
Barack Obama
Former US President Barack Obama did an AMAeight years ago.
Perhaps Im setting the bar too high.
Bill Gates
Microsoft founder Bill Gates also did an AMA back in2013.
He must be more controversial than me.
Rachel Maddow
Alright,Mashableplaced MSNBC anchor Rachel MaddowsAMAamong the top seven most disastrous ones ever.
For sure, she is more controversial than I am.
Throw me a fucking bone, 2.31%?
Alright, Im giving up.
I must be a terrible person.
And if youve got a controversiality score higher than 12.4%, yo get in touch.
Im desperately looking to give an example of a person with a worse personality than mine.
Tell him everything you despise about his work onTwitter.
