why try to turn Reddit into every other social media thing?

Because those social media sites are worth 100x reddit.

Sure, but 1,000 sites have tried to mimic them without any unique selling point. Sites like Parler even had a unique selling point with a clearly defined target audience and were still worthless without giant piles of politically motivated money with no path to profit. Trying to cargo cult another website is like trying to put 19" tires on your new wallet because the car industry makes a lot of money selling a completely different product.
