    I dont get the hysteria, personally.

    I came here to escape the crowds, not migrate with them.

      Once a site gets too popular it gets normified and it just becomes nothing but reposts, in-jokes and low effort crap.

        Reddit’s appeal was never in the popular subs, but in the long tail. Forget about the dozen subreddits with million+ subscribers, what made it interesting is the thousands of subs with a few hundred active users.

          You also have to realize that Reddit would squash popular communities that weren’t as advertiser friendly. Which led to the larger (bad) communities.
