I don't disagree with the idea that Reddit is mismanaged, but isn't "born on third and thought they hit a triple" a hyperbolic way to describe the success of one of the top 10 websites in the U.S.? From introducing the concept of subreddits, to actually profiting off of Reddit Gold, to a distributed moderation team (that when it works, works well) there are plenty of places they succeeded. That doesn't just simply happen.
