> Minecraft is a funny case, because in alpha and beta it was really big on Reddit

Reddit in those days was a much smaller place than it is now and a lot of the users were functionally odd, a huge amount of the discussions revolved around 'how to behave in public' and 'how to navigate normal social interactions' and 'how to cope with social anxiety' - I'm not trying to judge because I was a user too, but the average reddit user around that time - and especially a reddit minecraft fan - could politely be described as a manchild.

And minecraft Youtube is still a very weird place.
