While I do not oppose paying for definitions, there is someone confusing about collectively generated meaning being aggregated and packaged by one company for profit. A publicly maintained dictionary is a much much better alternative. I guarantee it would be more versatile and rigorous than this Oxford stuff.
Now, consider how powerful Reddit is/used to be, especially in quality human generated resources (jokes, answers, commentary etc) and realize networks exert power in different ways from just numbers. Numbers matter, but in very different ways.
