I don't think that argument is easy to defend, considering how big the internet is and that this is just a copy of existing ideas that have been done before.
Context matters. This is Reddit, so that particular effort will become a part of remembered Internet history for the next decade or more.
On the flip side, however, reddit is (as of today on Alexa) the 4th most visited site in the US. Given that user-base, I think a lot of internet users have noticed this.
