SF's Hot List Triggers Mass Mockery; Kylie Robison Says Ragebait Economy Still Rages

Celeste Amadon publicized her "San Francisco's Hot List" of the city's most dateable people, soliciting self-nominations judged on attraction, ambition, accomplishment, reputation and aura, with the first 10 finalists posted the next evening. Her feed was quickly flooded with mockery branding San Franciscans as spiritually LinkedIn, cringe, and hopelessly ugly. The few who self-nominated listed their traits like resumes, with none of the safeguards a dating app would provide. Writing in Core Memory, Kylie Robison frames it as Silicon Valley ranking faces again twenty years after Facemash — proof the ragebait economy is still raging — and argues that piling on innocent people for "being ugly" is never cool.
