That's one way to see it, but if I came from Reddit looking for an alternative and found that people are just talking about Reddit here I'd see little reason to make the switch. Kinda gives me "jealous ex who can't let go" vibes. Don't know about one or two posts per week, I didn't count but it just feels like a lot more to me.
