“No one cares, trust me bro”…until their dealer (corporate Reddit) decides to start charging for their fix, or else nukes their favorite subreddit to make the whole place more investor-friendly. Then, it will be “HOW DARE THEY???”

The “tipping point” will happen when a) enough of the popular subreddits get their equivalent here, and b) when people make a point of turning posts into discussions. The experience of making a comment and then…nothing isn’t the sort of think likely to sustain itself.
