In 10 years we'll be talking about Reddit like we talk about MySpace today.

Actually it feels more like Tumblr.

* Tumblr was living from NSFW content and when they banned NSFW content Tumblr basically ceased to exist.

* Reddit is living from free moderation and when they banned 3rd party tools for moderation, because Reddit ones sucks, they might be going in same direction as Tumblr.

Um... maybe this proves your point... but what is Tumblr? Is it some sort of image hosting site like Flickr or Imgur?

An alternate universe twitter is probably a better comparison. Content largely tends to be images or video but can be text posts as well. It started off much less "federated" where you were running your own "blog" on Tumblr that had it's own styling, but it's become increasingly centralized.

"Reblogs" are a bigger feature on Tumblr than twitter generally and the reply / threading structure is pretty unique, which has a tendency to create a lot of blogs that are essentially 100% reblogging other content.

Pretty much. With blackjack and hookers...

Make that two years.
