"What is honoured in a country will be cultivated there". I would argue that any large website, or website with a culture, is functionally analogous to a country in Plato's sense of the word. What does reddit honour? It honours "Gotcha" journalism (even of itself), it honours celebrity, it honours bite-sized knowledge. It honours theft of intellectual and artistic property. And it honours most of all the idea that they deserve that content for free. I can see why they have the culture they have - they've hoed the rows themselves, and their crop has come to fruition.
