Reply to comment by zuzg in What will the future of social media look like? by PhyllisBentley

I agree with you regarding Reddit being part of "social media", and I think Reddit in particular is well suited to a future model.

What will have to change, in my thinking, is how outside information can be forced into what we know as a sub-reddit. That's where the closed system comes into play: the curating part.

(As an aside, I'm the type that likes to indulge in a random inflow for a bit every day)

So if Reddit changes in that way, I don't think it reflects what we know today - but I could be way off on all this.

That's basically why I sort the Frontpage by rising/top all regularly. You see much more smaller subreddits this way and it's easier to participate in discussions.
