- shagie 3y agoIt was a single page link farm with votes that competed with Digg in a much simpler regulatory time. https://web.archive.org/web/20051124035428/http://reddit.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20051124035428/http://reddit.com... (edit: upon reflection, I am nostalgic for the time when that the top link there was to "The Truth About Web 2.0" at paulgraham.com shared by a user named AaronSw) If you were to try to build something today that competed with Reddit and wasn't just a "here's a bunch of links - vote on what you like (without even comments)", it would take quite a bit more investment. If you were to build reddit c. 2005 you wouldn't even need a device local app.
