People conflate the two terms because, if I told someone for the last 16 years that Reddit was an aggregator, they looked at me with a blank expression. It’s not a word that is in the common parlance.
It’s also not easily recognizable as an aggregator when you go to subs/communities where there are zero or nearly zero links, and it’s all threads.
They’re honestly more like a hybrid between an aggregator and an oversimplified forum. Most subs I frequented feel like Delphi did back when I grew up.

Bro I know that exact blank stare. I always catch it when I try to explain what Reddit is.
