I like it -- I like a lot :)
Honestly, I'm getting tired of this lack of innovation from these companies. Lately, the game plan – despite their considerable resources – seems to be: chill, hang back, then watch a new startup take off, copy/paste it.

Really interesting move by Reddit!
this one seems like a real good opportunity.
