you're describing an internet forum, technologically unimpressive as of decades ago

it turns out, the communities and their members (mod and non-mod) are more valuable to reddit than vice versa

You've ignored the brand and product part. Which is as big if not bigger than tech when it comes to Reddit's success.

you've ignored that the brand and the product are the communities, including mod- and non-mod users

without reddit, the communities could exist on any other forum software, hosting paid by anyone else, and be the same

without the communities, reddit is worthless
