That was a question in the What-If book (although it was on a planetary scale). TIL (well, YIL) that because of his various cameos Stan Lee is the third highest grossing actor of all time (and has, by far, the best film average). http://www.the-numbers.com/people/records/ |

So nothing to do with his earnings, but the total gross take of all the films he's been in is the third highest? Makes sense. Weirdly worded though. |

The chart of actors who've been in the most grossing films in a supporting role is fun. Check out number 2 - he's only done voices for animated stuff and things like Transformers. Who is he? No fucking idea! 1 Samuel L. Jackson 51 $4,823,853,782 $94,585,368 2 Frank Welker 29 $4,086,206,421 $140,903,670 3 Hugo Weaving 18 $3,834,951,387 $213,052,855 4 Gary Oldman 17 $3,513,567,164 $206,680,421 5 Warwick Davis 14 $3,506,957,852 $250,496,989 6 Jack Angel 18 $3,436,121,459 $190,895,637 7 Mickie McGowan 16 $2,989,300,678 $186,831,292 8 Stanley Tucci 31 $2,915,128,512 $94,036,404 9 Elizabeth Banks 19 $2,878,433,120 $151,496,480 10 Robbie Coltrane 18 $2,845,890,272 $158,105,015 |

Depends if you consider hundreds of thousands of users to be a 'pitchfork mob', and those were the ones who could be bothered to sign the petition. It didn't seem that Pao was a good CEO at all, what with her history of spurious sexual-discrimination lawsuits (that she lost) and using her newfound reddit power to prevent salary negotiations (because women aren't as good at it). I'm been watching the drama unfold. yishan is revelling in his ex-ceo ability to declare his superior knowledge a bit too much. More than once he's said something that's been directly contradicted by people that actually work there (like saying a board member was Pao's boss where it's actually the other way around), and other such chuffing nonsense. The fact that voat.co is pretty much an identical reddit clone just demonstrates that in terms of the technical platform provided, there isn't much novelty about anything the management does. I'd say the site's success, beyond it's self-feeding notoriety, is just the ability to stay up under load for the majority of the time. Everything else is pretty much built by users. |

Don't argue with me, argue with the ex-ceo disagreeing with the incumbent staff. I haven't made a single post on reddit about the ongoing guff. It's mostly just a content and link aggregator with comments and dank memes. |

Reddit's open-source - I strongly suspect there's more than a little of Voat that is entirely cloned from Reddit (although Voat's written in a different language). |
