It just has the most users of all link aggregators. If you want to discuss subject A, or news story B, or product C, it's the best place--because of the users, and despite the increasingly trash design. It got those users by being best-in-class a long time ago when things like Digg were futzing and fumbling around the same way Reddit is now. As soon as some non-user-hostile site gets enough people Reddit will go away.
