reddit = porn fodder

Didn't realize, but Reddit is now a porn fodder.

Its traffic also seems to incleased 10 times since 2008. See: Computer
Language Websites Popularity.

>From my experience, if you just add one page that is remotely related
to sex, that page's traffic will eclipse your other hundred pages.
(See: Moving Porn out of XahLee.org.) So, i wonder what percentage of
reddit traffic is porn related. (it also means more $$$.) Note that
there's lots of semi-porn related sites that became huge sucess. These
sites typically start by a teen as teen drivel fodder, where almost
100% content is naked chicks or lurid pictures. Then, when they become
big, either the luridness gets reduced or moved out, and or the site
become more respectable as some digital age trend setter. For example:
4chan, Fark.com. In fact, facebook started that way. See: Facebook's
Ethics.

note that reddit was originally somewhat a site for programers,
written in common lisp.
