You missed the bits where Reddit should start trying to occupy the space of other content-hosting sites to generate more ad revenue and harvest more data from users.
It comes down to the fact that Reddit isn't really a social media site - it's a link aggregator with the trappings of social media, or a slightly fancier network of forums (fora? fori? I forget the declension...). I think it is perfectly valued, and fits a niche that maybe only Pinterest comes close to filling. If it tries to expand its social media elements, it will be trying to be something it isn't and users will respond accordingly (one would hope).
- Accujack 6y agoReddit's main product at this point is their userbase... information on them, the ability to influence them via echo chambers and censorship, the ability to sell things to them...
- moistbar 6y ago>fora? fori? I forget the declension... I think it'd be "fora" in this instance. I'm judging this from the word "medium/media" and I know how many linguistic exceptions Latin had, though, so I'm probably wrong.
- naniwaduni 6y agoIn this particular case, we might prefer "fororum", the genitive plural.
- moistbar 6y agoAh shit, here I go back down the Latin-hole again.
