The subreddits are the most interesting part of reddit. Literally anyone can create a place to discuss any topic. No matter how big, small, or esoteric the community is. That's why I really don't think reddit has a single culture. Though this article appears to be more about the founder/business culture than site cultures. In fact, HackerNews isn't much different than having a "HackerNews" subreddit. The open source aspect of reddit is also interesting. LessWrong.com is probably the most successful outgrowth of that.
