“even”… i think reddit’s follow ups were least likely to succeed because they were the least organic!

place was special (at first) because it was a bunch of people with no time to plan and prepare… it was humans doing human things with all the limitations and creativity that came with that

other iterations of place were bots and pre-planned “stake our claim” rather than making something interesting and different… it was kinda all just the same as the last one but with subtle “meme of the moment” tweaks

You expressed my own thoughts in a better way than I ever could. I agree completely.
