Ironically in my opinion subreddits are the only thing keeping the site useful at all. It’s all about curating a set of smaller subreddits targeted at your interests or frequented by people whose content you like. Beyond that it’s just terrible.

The line between a small subreddit struggling to get enough posts and then getting big enough to have drama is so fine these days.

The amount of work the ask historians mods have to put in to make reddit function like people think it does/want it to is staggering. That team is basically doing a second full time job. I don’t know how they do it.

At what point in time could one derive value from reddit without subreddits?

It didn't have them initially. Though at that point it was basically a slightly less focused /r/programming .
