Reddit the place was great, but it was because of the contributers and despite the system.

The network effect is hell of a drug. Most contributers are/were there, because it seemed like the most relevant place to put their information, and that was because of the other people on the platform, not because the system was particularily sophisticated or well designed.

Now the reddit design has the advantage that people already know it, but on the other hand if you change communities anyways why not try a new thing?
