I was around at the time, but I went from /. and/or forums to nothing to reddit. I was also about 5-7 years late to reddit

What were the prevalent reddit like boards at the time doing such that reddit became popular?

    I know that was ~12 years ago, but to go from that to “we will continue to be profit-driven until we are profitable” is one hell of a character arc for a website

      It’s actually a pretty common character arc, it’s just unusually blatant here.

      A different group took over, and money talks. That’s about it. That’s why if we want to maintain a non-corporate internet, decentralised social media are the only option available.

      Let alone Aaron’s principals. He must be spinning so fast in his grave that we could probably solve the world’s energy needs.
