Ask HN: What interesting stuff are you browsing?
I&#x27;ve been trawling subreddits to get a ground-level view of common narratives that we hold on to but have never thought to collect data on.<p>For instance, there&#x27;s a common and oft-repeated notion that food delivery apps are screwing over drivers, not just restaurants.
