14 year old account with lots comment activity. Deleted all of the posts and then the account the moment I understood what was going on.
Anyway everything on Reddit had been created in about a decade and something better be recreated again even faster. The above analogy of Reddit being a library is a bit off to my ears-- Reddit is not the content you find there, Reddit is the people; the expertise, the moderation, the consideration, the passion. We can safely burn the siphons tapped into people's passions and let the energies of the people pour elsewhere.
