One of the things about Reddit is that it had all of these subreddits for everything you can think of. Even terrible ones. Don't like one? Don't go there! Really simple concept. I think Reddit could have squeezed out a few more years if it stuck to its principles. Instead, we get to discover how good popcorn tastes while watching Reddit crash and burn.
Also really awesome to see Huffman talk about how they never meant to be a bastion of free speech, but is called out with an article with Ohanian using those exact words. I watched a video of the two being interviewed after starting Reddit w/ Y Combinator, back in 2005 (saw it once but haven't been able to find it again, so no link). I think both of those kids in the 2005 interview would be absolutely ashamed with these two sellouts running their company now. What a shame.
