For a viable competitor to Reddit, you only need enough other users to fill a few pages worth of content, so the barrier of entry is much lower than if you wanted to outcompete something like Whatsapp. I mean, Hacker News has like 1% of the number of users that Reddit has, and it's already better.
- dondawest 8y ago>Hacker News has like 1% of the number of users that Reddit has, and it's already better. Exactly. I went on reddit for years until the redesign. Now I can’t stand that site. The reddit redesign is so astoundingly bad and nonfunctional it shocks me to this day.
- Bekwnn 8y agoThere's a simple browser extension to redirect to old.reddit.com. But I agree that if they ever remove that, I'll leave the site. The redesign is comically worse.
