Reddit的演变：从互联网首页到自我参考社区？
Evolution of Reddit: From the Front Page of the Internet to a Self-referential Community?
摘要：
在过去的几年里，Reddit --一个社区驱动的平台，用于提交、评论和评级链接和文本帖子--从一个小的用户社区发展成为网络上最大的在线社区之一。据我们所知，这项工作代表了迄今为止对Reddit演变的最全面的纵向研究，研究了（i）用户提交如何随着时间的推移而演变，以及（ii）社区的注意力分配及其对提交的看法如何基于对近6000万份提交的分析在5年内发生变化。我们的工作揭示了一个日益多样化的主题，伴随着同时集中到几个选定的领域，无论是在张贴的意见书，以及感知和注意力。总的来说，我们的调查表明，Reddit已经从一个专门的网络门户转变为一个越来越自我参考的社区，专注于并加强自己的用户生成的图像和文本内容，而不是外部来源。
英文摘要：
In the past few years, Reddit -- a community-driven platform for submitting, commenting and rating links and text posts -- has grown exponentially, from a small community of users into one of the largest online communities on the Web. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the most comprehensive longitudinal study of Reddit's evolution to date, studying both (i) how user submissions have evolved over time and (ii) how the community's allocation of attention and its perception of submissions have changed over 5 years based on an analysis of almost 60 million submissions. Our work reveals an ever-increasing diversification of topics accompanied by a simultaneous concentration towards a few selected domains both in terms of posted submissions as well as perception and attention. By and large, our investigations suggest that Reddit has transformed itself from a dedicated gateway to the Web to an increasingly self-referential community that focuses on and reinforces its own user-generated image- and textual content over external sources.
