> You don't understand the value of reddit.

You'd take that back if you saw my karma level. I use selfcontrol.app to keep Reddit at bay.

> It's the community and that's impossible to replace

I've been a member of lots of better communities... there's only so far you can get 'attached' to people who are anonymous.

Your entire argument is that a venue to discuss things is more important than the source of the discussion topic. I just can't agree with that. Throw out the water cooler and I'll take my discussion to the coffee machine. But throw out the discussion topic (Exposé on corruption at the FDA in the NYT), and water cooler or coffee machine, what will we talk about... Honey Boo Boo?
