I was in the world record secret Santa and it was the funnest coolest thing ever (they sent me my world record letter even!)
Pre-subreddits, it felt very similar to HN (which they ofc have the same birthplace) and the real gold was in the comments, which made it stand out from all others and made it less about you and more about us.
When subreddits started it was totally game changing and from there on it was great.
The Condé Nast thing was weird but it didn’t really change anything, but slowly it felt like it was trying to always “grow up” but never figured out that it didn’t need to
All this nonsense going public is expected but it’s sad and another victim of late stage thunderdome capitalism.
