SomethingAwful could do what it did because they're a single community with a shared culture. People talk about the reddit community, but it doesn't really exist. There's not much overlap between /r/aww and /r/coontown. Reddit is more like Usenet, except that Usenet could be what it was because it really was just a platform. There was no Usenet, Inc to turn the screws on.
