I enjoy this article. Seems like you wrote it with a passion & maybe a quickness - you've got a couple redundant words here and there -

    the burden of managing all those topical niches had grown burdensome

On the other hand, elegant avoidance of ending a sentence in a preposition:

    By default, logged-in users view the site from a home page that threads together links from the subreddits to which they’ve subscribed.

- Might want to put in an "ly" here:

    Reinforcing that impression are the new moderation features the administrators occasional unveil

All in all though I really enjoyed your perspective. You seem both knowledgeable and analytical in this article. One of my favorite subreddits when I reddited regularly was r/metareddit, this would be a great article to share there as well, probably. I hadn't thought of the dichotomies of Reddit in this way before and I found it edifying.
