The three reddit founders didn't have special insight initially: for years, reddit had no subreddits. Those came later as a sort of necessity.

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Reddit#Full_timeli..., the site launched in 2005, and from pretty early on there were a handful of centrally-managed ones like science, programming, etc, with the option to create arbitrary ones coming in 2008.

So technically "years", but those were the very early days.

Anyone remember the date when subreddits were added?
