  How do I do that in about 60 seconds and share it on a Reddit-like site, with the possibility of people recommending alternative parts in a easy way? I guess the point I’m making is if you want to improve on the subreddits, simple stuff like this is low hanging fruit. Edit: I’ll add, pcpartspicker is exactly the kind of hoop I’m talking about. A large amount of those hardware subreddits are built on that tool, so why funnel all the traffic to Reddit at all?

    two major reasons: reach: get enough upvotes in Reddit and you can attract a lot of people including prominent figures in the space to look at your build friction: people passing by might not want to create a profile just to comment on your build, but if they stumble on the build on a site where they already have registered it's so much more likely for them to speak their mind a mass of users, even from unrelated topics, carry non linear value in social interaction based sites, and so it happens grouping topic together wins over fragmenting over multiple small sites
