Here is an interesting article from 7 years ago, back when Reddit was smaller than dig. Something tells me that Cpal'ing the code long ago was done intentionally to be used now...

Why would reddit give away the code?

"We know Reddit's success has less to do with our technology than it does with you, our community, and now we want to let our community improve our technology,"

Somehow that sounds nice, maybe this was back before they killed Adam? somehow the timing with getting bought out by naste seems off. Remember the evil ones are very patient and work in scores of years....

when you use up a whore, it's nice to have another cloud to land on...How natural it makes it seem when you can paint her up an make her look just like the one before and have it seem....natural...like shucks golly, just a couple of smart college kids playing with some reddit code...

anyone could have grabbed the code, anyone can now....its the diverting of readers and growing of members that is the trick...

I know how I ended up here....I read it on reddit....gee, what a coinkydink
