<blockquote>''[...]it's important to me that this playlist represents my current interests with no consideration for anything or anyone else. Therefore, I'm resisting the urge to tailor the playlist to pique others' interest, to gain followers. (There's actually a song on OK Human about the negative effects of stats like followers.

On a different Riverpedia entry, he mentioned the following, in regards to the development of the website:
The sequence of numbers spoken at 2 minutes and 32 seconds (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) is the beginning of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number Fibonacci sequence], a sequence in mathematics in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1.
 
<blockquote>''[...]There are some common features I don't plan to implement, such as likes, followers, visit counters, private messages, and friends. Also, there's a great song on ok human about the destructiveness of number watching. (It's called 'Numbers') It will probably clarify my emotions about this issue.''</blockquote>

<poem>There's always a number that'll make you feel bad about yourself
[...]
There's always a number that'll make you feel bad about yourself
You try to measure, try to measure up to someone else
You try to measure, try to measure up to someone else
Numbers are out to get you
Numbers are out to get you
Numbers are out to get you
Numbers are out to get you
Numbers, ooh ooh.
Numbers, ooh ooh
[...]
 
They say that you're too short to join the team
And your I.Q.'s too low for poetry
Numbers are out to get you
Numbers are out to get you
Numbers, ooh ooh
 
I hear the sadness in your laughter
So call on me and tell me what you need
Just call on me and tell me what you need
 
Look at him, look at her
They got a million Likes
You better figure out how to multipy-divide
Numbers are out to get you
They'll kill you if they get through
Numbers, ooh ooh
 
I hear the sadness in your laughter
So call on me and tell me what you need
Just call on me and tell me what you need
 
I'm a one-number zero
In the end, does it matter?
All that we even really know
Is that every nail needs a hammer
But the numbers ??? when we love
And the two becomes one
 
I hear the sadness in your laughter
I hear the sadness in your laughter
So call on me and tell me what you need
Just call on me and tell me what you need
 
(0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13)
 
I hear the sadness in your laughter
I hear the sadness in your laughter
