Reddit: The rise of Information Hubs
Admittedly, this is a passion project for me. I browse Reddit a lot. It is such a useful tool: I can literally find most forms of knowledge within this site if I dig deep enough. I can go from learning about Accounting (yes, there is a subreddit for it) to watching Lance Stephenson, an NBA rapper, freestyling and I'd be wowed. Reddit evolved from a forum into an information hub, divided by subsections called subreddits catering to different subjects, genres and niches. It begs the question: How did Reddit grow to become THE definitive information hub most people are aware of? Why was Reddit chosen to be the place where people share their interests, knowledge? I want to learn more about this phenomenon.
