I agree. Instead of trying to be a social network, I think they should have focused on their media advantage and kept Victoria, who created trust in the AMA.

But no, they killed it. The thing is, their AMA system captured lightning in a bottle very regularly. Engagement was high, the community was happy and it brought positive press to reddit, at least for the US market.

But like you said, social network envy.
