I think Reddit really missed the boat on a ton of really interesting product problems, particularly around community. Their product organization over the past 10 years has really just produced an awful, slow redesign and really cookie cutter answers to how community moderation and curation ought to be done.
Questions like:
1. How do you moderate a community with less central authority?
2. How do you make large communities still feel warm and inviting?
3. How do you make money without having to resort to censorship or invasive advertising?
It seems like Reddit over the years has answered all of these questions as: become like Facebook. One of the bigger reasons I’ve gotten super excited about blockchain over the past couple years is that the community is really thinking through how distributed governance might be able to work. I wish Reddit thought about that more too.
