View submission: Testing a new concept with select subreddit partners
I remember MTV made a statement once that about once a generation it would revamp its entire operation to appeal to the teenage demographic. Once those teens grew out of MTV they would revamp. At the time the pace of technology made society much faster for lack of a better term. This is kind of what reddit is going through right now. In a few years we may no longer really recognize it unless they retain the old site and the honest to god text and discussion forums are allowed to remain as is.
I have a philosophy that I am very vocal in sharing with others:
I am not one to hold on to the past for nostalgic reasons. I don't care about the past. I care about making progress. I care about innovation. I care about those things because I believe we should always be striving to be better in every aspect of our lives in order to better all of humanity.
I am not concerned with Reddit remaining as the Reddit from 10 years ago nor the Reddit of today.
It is deeply flawed in how it is battling with an identity crisis that has it holding on to what it was 10 years ago.
It is still trying to exist as an aggregation tool rather than the community platform it has become.
You and I do not share the same concerns at all.
