          No, capitalism didnt create reddit. People inspired by DIGG created reddit while living in a capitalist economy.

            They’re all just forums with voting, but the salient point was that they were created to make money for the people who started the company.

              If their sole motivation was making money they had plenty of way more reliable options for applying their skills than gambling on Digg shitting itself and everyone jumping onto their lifeboat. Capitalism didn’t create Reddit, people laboring under capitalism did.
