    Continuing this thread. My buddy Greg Isenberg constantly is talking about the unbundling of Reddit and honestly he is on to something. [1] As Reddit continues to unbundle, how can we shape these into curation engines so at least our algos can get some usable data out of communities instead of them being an endless popularity contest. --- [1] https://latecheckout.substack.com/p/the-guide-to-unbundling-...
