It only has one "correct" opinion. Everything else is downvoted and rejected. It's mostly an anonymous network while Twitter isn't. Lastly, Reddit is controlled by the mods in a way. Mods have all the power. Influencers do not.

Interesting point about Influencers. Havent seen that before. Didnt realize Influencers have a harder time on reddit. So Influencers require a different architecture.

Funny enough, I posted this on Reddit too and it got moderated out.
