But modern reddit isn't really very similar to what they're mocking? Here's the joke mockup: https://sp.reddit.com/reddit2mockup.jpg

Open reddit now and there's no silly unusable tag clouds, no top-of-page ads, no 3rd-party ad serving, no gradients, no overdone logo, no tagline, no allcaps headings, no giant voting arrows...

The specifics are different but the trend is the same. Most HN posts from Reddit are old.Reddit.com, you try and view a Reddit page on mobile? Screw you, download the app.they’re doing the exact same thing digg did, the trends are just a decade later.
Let’s admit modern Reddit is probably half porn and only fans site. I don’t have quantifiable data but the way I see people on Twitter complain about porn on Twitter. I can only assume.
That's even farther from "basically became everything the founders mocked when they first started it"!
