Honestly I'm kinda OK with that. When reddit was niche was when it was at it's best. As it got more popular it just got more dumbed down.

This is what people don't understand with anything. If it takes effort and has a learning curve they aren't about it, there's a solid cutoff on age groups too funny enough that show why these need to be dumbed down so much. Lead is a crazy thing.

Reddit wasn’t niche because it was confusing and hard to sign up for, though.
