Does anyone have thoughts on why they included r/Fortnite in the initial beta?
My best guess is that it sees such high traffic & is populated with non-crypto focused Reddit users. Let's the company get a big dataset with a group of consumers who aren't predisposed to Crypto.
I reached out to Reddit for comment but they just gave me a classic canned response.

- cslarson 6y agoThis launch involves two subs, r/fortnitebr and r/cryptocurrency, and builds from an existing centralised version that r/fornitebr, among a few others, was already using. So this moves their points onto the Ethereum blockchain. It is indeed interesting to expose non-crypto users to the Ethereum version. For instance, of the two subs r/fortnitebr has so far 4x the number of transactions and new addresses despite being roughly comparable in subscriber size (it has more active visitors by roughly 2.5x). Personally i think that speaks commendably to the ux that Reddit has been able to achieve.
