I was just discussing the phenomenon the other day. A question arose about what value Reddit (the company/site) provides vs. it's community.
I think we've all be on the internet long enough to see vibrant communities (usenet, forums, MUDs, myspace, etc.) bloom and wilt away. If Reddit cannot provide a high level of value to the people that generate content within the community they will migrate away to an environment that does.
- jimhefferon 11y agoOne of the things it provides is that it is like Usenet in that you can find an area of interest (or passion), or two or three, and not really have much to do with the rest of the site. Unlike Usenet, though, it provides simple editing, pictures, video, and some other things people want. But search sucks.
