Reddit Doubles Down

This is about the transition from a site mostly about engaged focused discussion by enthusiasts to a more mass market generic social site.

I bet most views at this point are just the generic popular view, not driven by a subscription to a sub.

Ok, but why can't reddit serve both types of user?

Split old.reddit off into an "old school" version that has 3rd party apps, but needs a subscription to access. Then keep new reddit as their tiktok Instagram clone.

The old school version has never made a profit
