It is hard to see what value Reddit can provide to anyone outside of its current, very narrow demographic, and I haven't missed it much since leaving it last year.

Reddit appeals primarily (but not exclusively) to young males in their 20's and 30's. As a subgroup, they tend to lean libertarian, which is why they are more accepting of recreational drug use.
Reddit has a bright future, but maybe not with CN. They don't know how to monetize it properly, and they seem to be tethered to the glossy world of magazines. Considering the success Tina Brown has had in moving away from that via The Daily Beast, it looks like IAC would be a better fit for Reddit than CN.
