but isn't that exactly how reddit works?

Model S owners need to populate something like /r/TeslaModelS and then your issues are solved.

And that's what this person did until they got big enough to warrant their own site. They have plenty of Patreon support so what's the problem?

Sounds like the implication is HackerNews shouldn't be a website, it should just be a subreddit.

I find the difference between Reddit and HN is the quality of moderation. HN is fantastic at removing the low-value stuff like memes, "me too", snarky comments, etc. As a result, the signal-to-noise ratio is much higher, and it doesn't need loads of subreddits.

There are plenty of technical and expert subreddits which police low-value comments just as well as HN. It's simply not the case that Hacker News, with its one or maybe two moderators, does a better job of moderation than every single subreddit.

Yup, that's the beauty of not hosting on reddit or HN. You can control your own destiny.
