    Even early Reddit used to be like this. Back when HN wasn't even opened yet.

      YC was founded in March 2005 and Reddit in June 2005. Reddit is a YC company.

            It's possible, but I suspect demographics are more likely to be the main reason here. 'Eternal September on steroids' as you say.
