I think reddit is going to be the new model of digital media. They launched recently profiles, which means users who have been fairly anon will have the opportunity to start branding themselves as thought leaders in each respective subreddit. It's already happened with breaking news. Twitter might be faster, but there is less moderation and filter for fake news vs. crowd moderation (not perfect). I wouldn't be surprised if they start their own editorial team for news or a publishing platform and let the crowd moderate what's fake/real. The only thing stopping them is trolls/shills, but that might be solved with the profiles. They just need to convince users to come out of the shadows.
