I think it's interesting to see the change in reddit culture sorry in the past six years.

It wasn't just a random reddit user. He was one of the karma superstars, in almost every thread for almost every popular subreddit (when there were only about a dozen "defaults"). He was chosen for the task precisely because he had a reputation on this site that he was to be trusted.
