Lol, many of us have, but thanks for breaking out one of the three tropey abuse-excusing talking points that get rehashed here every other day.

> Reddit then that anyone can create a subreddit on. It'll probably be better, right?

I've never had a topic like reddit get people so eager to shove words in my mouth. REDDIT GOT LUCKY and maybe were calculating it how they used free labor. They didn't make anything, they have no unique value prop after losing power users and moderators.

And despite what some funny people here say, the frontpage is a laughingstock still. When I peek once a week, because yes, I actually have some self-wilp and self-determination and feel no need to prop up shitty little platforms run by shitty lying little dictators. I know, shocking that some of us have values, and we even live them.

Instead of creating more strawmans to put in my mouth, why not actually rise to the discussion and tell me what reddit has that no one else can touch. I think you've conceded it's not tech.

Right it's not tech - it's their product that people enjoy using that is what drew a lot of people to Reddit. Especially in its growth years. Subreddits as a concept are a really great product idea and one thing that struck me as innovative and cool when I joined. And the subreddit product feature is why I've gotten to be in multiple niche interest-based forums hosted on Reddit that probably wouldn't have existed otherwise.

To act like Reddit-the-product is valueless and did nothing right to get to where it is today is just silly.
