to be fair, both oatmeal and smarter everyday didn't start a community on reddit, wait for it to grow, and then try to divert that community into their own sites (as planned all along)
- Consultant32452 11y agoI think one key difference, as far as Reddit is concerned, is that for things like Smarter Everyday the "relationship," if you could call it that, probably drives more of Smarter Everyday's traffic to Reddit than it pulls from Reddit over to Youtube. People go to Reddit to talk about SED videos and suggest content and ideas because it's a better communication platform than Youtube provides. This is, of course, totally in line with what you're saying.
