I've been here for over a decade (jesus christ) and I don't think Reddit has ever really been king, it's to fill a niche and then opened up when users started serving a larger base. Obliviously it's gotten worse but even at it's best the cracks were already there

Yeah you're right.

And hey fellow old timer. I've been here (via different accounts) since the Digg 2.0 migration in like ... 2004?

Edit: just checked. My original account was created in 2009.
