Why are we bring reddit content over?
Why are we bring reddit content over?
Basically title. That stuff getting reposted here isn't going to get half as much attention or traction. It's in the past, why not concentrate on the new stuff?
It's for the Google archives. I will Google things all the time that end up coming back to a Reddit post or comment that is super helpful.
So long as Reddit is the only place that this content exists, Reddit owns this content.
The migration gives an alternative to Reddit for accessing this content
This is an aggregation site. Reddit has the information we want. It's like Wikipedia or a news website.
Oh, you mean Reddit as a cultural phenomenon. I was thinking as an information hub. As a general rule of the internet, if something is good enough, it will escape containment from wherever it was originally posted and into a new community.
It's like memes of Twitter posts. I've never been on Twitter - I wait for posts to reach critical velocity to escape containment.
