It's the opposite of a social network. You start linked with everyone, and start picking people you hate, or are unfriendly with.

The top ranked people are the ones with less connections.

But there's a twist: if you are way too anti-social, you become popular because you are in the top rank, and thus exposed.

The goal si not only to be unpopular, but to be mediocre and miserable. Go, go, go! Quick! Before the website get's updated and starts ranking mediocrity!

       Finally, my brothers, beware of doing wrong to any hermit. How could a hermit forget? How could he repay? Like a deep well is a hermit. It is easy to throw in a stone; but if the stone sank to the bottom, tell me, who would get it out again? Beware of insulting the hermit But if you have done so—well, then kill him too.   

       Thus spoke Zarathustra.

       \\How can you hate someone you don't know?\\   

       People who wear crocs to work, people who need to spend exorbitant amounts of money to feel good about themselves, people who drape bigotry in the cloak of patriotism, people that instigate lawsuits for a living, people that steal from others for a living, people that could change these things but don't because it might affect what they get from what they do for a living, the cast and crew of sex and the city.   

       That wasn't so difficult.
[8th], if I could bun annotations, I certainly would yours.

       Present company excepted of course...   

       Don't worry my brave little toaster. I like people who wear crocs. Also, strangers hate me because I ride my scooter to all of my undergrad classes.

       Placid wants to be foes with you on FingerBook. You can "choke" him anytime. Use the Hate button on his status updates. Take a wizz on his wall, tag him in pics of excrement and cross-post to Twatter.

       I think you described a sports website I follow almost perfectly.   

       What made it that way? Advertising sales, in my opinion.   

       The more fake names people create to agree with themselves (and not all that infrequently) argue with themselves - the more the advertisors pay.   

       E-whirlpool, I guess. Race to the bottom.
