The thing I find most interesting about reddit's death is that they keep having these "REDDIT'S ABOUT TO DIE" moments, but ultimately recover from them in a way that Digg and Myspace didn't. I'm not sure this particular event will break reddit's hold or if it's just another paper cut in the slow bleed-out of the website.

Actually, that sort of epidemic is needed in order to maintain any sort of normal population. The ecosystem cant maintain exponential growth forever, and eventually we'll hit a tipping point.

Either we control our numbers, through smarter breeding habits and birth control, or nature will do it for us.

Reddit exile here. I'm exited to be a part of hubski, and it feels a lot like what reddit used to, years ago.
