> As the name implies, Reddit is designed to be read. People who only read along, but never participate are so integral to the platform that users coined a new term for them: “lurkers.”

I ... "coined a new term" ... having grown up on usenet, mailing lists and IRC channels, the idea that reddit coined the term "lurkers" doesn't make me mad at the author, it just makes me feel really old.

Wikipedia says the word has been used online with that definition since the 1980's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurker

Haha whoops... I will add a correction for this.

Good correction, and no worries, once I recovered from feeling old it was honestly hilarious :D

Yeah, reading that bit was a bit odd.
