Reddit is the third largest social media* website in the world. The appeal of reddit is great content. Since we are the content, and our numbers are limited, we don't have great content. We attract people looking for freedom of speech, if we were able to attract expert memers then we'd be much better off.

It's a very good theory, like cells multiplying. Critical mass of the cell structure gives the explosion. Wonder what the critical mass is huh.

There is no critical mass for being a reddit alternative so long as the appeal is freedom of speech. That will just turn us into an alt right forum at best. If they offered tools that made memeing easier, we could have critical mass, but no idea what there is to offer aside from forcing pictures (image boards/4chan) or what reddit does.

I dunno if I get the point. Can you specify further?
