What I took away from this idea is that reddit never did really change, they just "became". The entire site was curated from the beginning, but once the community took over, they changed it for themselves to what they wanted. The original people are there, but there's an overarching "new" crowd.
So, in curating a community, it's important to realize that people will change the landscape for themselves, and without strict curating and moderation, people will create their own community. It wasn't very obvious when I thought about it.
