Reddit is the fastest Growing site on internet. Its a website where anyone can submit hyperlinks of interesting stuff from all over the web. If you have never visited Reddit, chances are, you will dislike it for the first time. The design is inspired from the early days of internet with small fonts and blurred votes , which can easily distract a new user. But Looks are deceptive. Massive Reddit stats proves that. It is only 10 year old and have reached to a Global Rank of 32 according to alexa. Poor Reddit servers have to bear with 230 million users per month . The Boring Looking website have received 200 million interesting submissions so far.
It receives 6 Million Users per day and the internet marketers, promoters, spammers, Clickbait creators are fighting to get that user share pie for free. But, no one succeeds because of its community driven and strongly moderated structure. Only the genuinely popular content moves up on Reddit.
Where Reddit scores over other social Networks like Facebook and twitter
The Secret recipe of reddit popularity is the anonymity of users and the insignificance of user accounts. You click on any user profile and you will be directed to a page which shows his submissions, comments etc. along with a link and comment karma. No, selfies with fake expressions, no self obsessed and copied about me text. Just his work (Karma) . That is the real power of reddit. Its focus on content, rather than users.
Digg was successor of reddit and was the pioneer of news voting websites. In the year 2010 , Both websites were at the same level, but nuclear growth of reddit from 2010 took it to the top 50 websites on earth and that too in just 5 years.
Also , its anonymity lets user speak their mind and go beyond the boundaries of content creation or submission without thinking, what others will think. Check out the screenshot of the the most viewed post in reddit’s History.
