Is this Reddit trying to take itself more seriously? It's almost like a mask layer to obfuscate the hive mind. I'm curious how the content is created, how something is featured, etc.
E.g.,
This photo of an unemployed man handing out resumes went to the top of r/pics: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/3kc1sh/this_man_lost_...
We interviewed the guy pictured + wrote about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Upvoted/comments/3kxp7q/bottom_of_t...
Then a week later a photo of the guy (now with a job) topped on r/pics again and a random redditor linked to our story to provide context for everyone on the thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/3lv1b3/way_to_go_redd...
This was back when we just posted as selfposts to r/upvoted, so I suspect that same article in a beautiful blog layout: http://upvoted.com/2015/10/03/donnie-grooms-unemployed-busch...
Would do even better and reach even more people!
