I feel like any comparison between Reddit and Snapzu will be mostly cosmetic. The two atmospheres are totally different!
One thing Reddit has, and that has kept me coming back to it (and will still continue to due so) is the sheer amount of variety. It's amazing and makes me happy to see, but that variety comes from having, literally, hundreds of millions of users and that brings negative side effects. Reddit will become an echo chamber of the same opinions and differing opinions will be driven off by rude behavior and down voting. With such large numbers, they don't need variety. And that might be their downfall in the long run, but for now it just attracts a certain type of person/mood overall and it just kills causal overall discussion in larger posts.
Sometimes a smaller audience is just what you need.
I agree. I feel comfortable posting here for I don't feel I'll be shredded to bits for having a non hive mind opinion. I'm not even seeing a hive mind here,which is a good thing.
Could you point out where it shows a number of returning visits or something? Because all I'm getting is that Reddit gets a lot of traffic but not how that correlates to number of users.

Quite not literally "hundreds of millions". It's only "tens of millions"
