    They did exist before reddit as forums, however they where fragmented across different languages and websites. At some point Google started to show reddit more often, because it was more search engine optimized and mobile friendly. This means new users found reddit first, and old users where slowly pulled away from their forums into reddit.

      Yeah. I’m not saying I like it or that it’s how it should be. It’s just how it is. I basically go to reddit last these days.
