> ironically, HN MADE reddit

No, it didn’t. PG made HN after funding and using Reddit.

Reddit had invite-only subreddits at that time and Joel Spolsky’s even had some traction. PG considered doing something similar but decided it wasn’t flexible enough for his needs and made HN.

I should have been more specific ; YC made reddit.

I'm sure, you knew what I meant, but I still should have been more clear.
