I really think Reddit did it as a rebrand. It's somehow 20 years old and still gets teenagers.

Social media almost always skews older as it ages, beyond the natural pace of time.

AOL became mostly seniors as did Facebook and Yahoo. Reddit has not only shaken off most of the aging legacy users but had also captured a new generation of effectively children.

I personally don't like what they've done but it's worked.

The younger users view it as an app with a website as opposed to a website with an app

The formula to clear out the old people is to clear out their input area half way the first draft of their TL;DR They will just go away for a few years.

Unfortunately they have a major problem that is going to hit them soon: they rely on volunteer moderators to run the site for them, and the young people aren't doing it.

They'll LLM that, or at least they'll majorly try.
