I was an early reddit user from before the time subreddits existed. Much of the user base, including myself, were asking for tag functionality, but the subreddit concept was introduced instead. I guess they needed a way to moderate tags, and that was their solution. Decades later, they told those same mods to go fuck themselves, so maybe they should have just used tags in the first place like they clearly expected subreddits to act.

If this turns out to be EU-only, then it’ll be useful for niche apps and ones that aren’t normally allowed (like emulators, third party YouTube apps, and other cool shit), but it won’t be commercially useful for the titans of tech like Google and Meta. Not a bad start.
