    The optimistic outlook on it is that unlike Twitter the quality of content on Reddit relies on moderators who have no official capacity from the site. Twitter is moderated by people who are paid at Twitter, so moderators leaving the sub (and taking the curation the users enjoyed with them) is much more impactful.

        Twitter is not social. It’s a platform for people that have large followings to get their message out. It’s why the media sort of embraced it for a time. It’s why artists and “influencers” use it. It does not matter if those folks have anything intelligent to say. In most cases it does not matter if what they say is stupidity. It will still get engagement. Reddit on the other hand is all about the topic and the quality of the post. Personalities or # of followers does not matter.
