Well said.

In that case, I think the reddit administration did a good job of excising the people it didn’t want, letting them take root elsewhere before the main mass went to check that place out, and letting that main mass come right back.

At the time, I thought it was a calculated and intelligent move on their part, fully intentional.

After what we’re seeing now, I think maybe they lucked out.

I guess it’s some sort of Hanlon’s Inverse Corollary: Never attribute to intelligence what can be adequately explained by dumb luck.
