I’ve been seeing a lot of angst and emotion on the Reddit migration, which results in either defeatism or blind optimism. In the end, it probably doesn’t matter, but I wanted to do more fact-based research into the subject.

I put my findings and my analysis into what it would actually take to kill Reddit, based on the deaths of Digg and MySpace. tl;dr it’s a lot less dramatic than most people would think.

    If you have the community people will come, and they will get over the fact that you don’t have a mobile app. If you don’t have the community, no amount of cool features will get people to come over and stay.

    Well summarised
