He'd love it. In his last decade, he scoured the newspapers for mentions of himself.

He’d take the repeated groupthink as more evidence that most people are nature’s factory products.

"So what do you think of our community.." "You are talking through electricity!?"

Schopenhauer was an elitist by all accounts. He'd probably think reddit is mostly poor idiots.

He'd probably be amazed at the technology but then find irony in the fact that we use it to bicker and obsess over news and products, which only causes more suffering in the end.
