Reddit is still alive ? And they plan to kill it faster by adding facebook-like features. Well too bad but it seems that every time a quality website gets too popular the quality goes down the drain and the people who made the website great in the first place move away to greener pastures then the website gets sold, sells out or evolves into something else in a desperate attempt to recapture its now gone past. HN is one exception to this, but has HN ever got hugely popular or is it limited to a certain category of people ?
