Reddit has practically since its birth in 2008 become one of the most important websites on the Internet, where you can share any type of content in addition to obtaining information. In fact, such is its popularity that every week interviews are conducted with world-renowned people who have to answer the questions users ask.
On Reddit we can find themes of all kinds, so if you can't find information on a specific topic on Google, the best option is to search this portal. Since its birth, the website has made the source code of the website available to all its users, but as the company has announced, it will no longer be accessible soon.
Taking into account that Aaron Swartz was behind Reedit in its beginnings, it is logical that the source code of this website is free and that any user can download it and do whatever they want with it. But times have changed and Reddit needs to update to adapt to new technologies and does not want the competition to know how it is doing its job. But this is not the only one reason that has led the company to close access to the source code, since according to it affirms, in the last years things have been done very badly and there is no attempt to maintain the centralized code.
Reddit claims that despite turning off the tap to the full source code, will continue to allow access only to parts of it, so that no one will be able to access all the source code at once. Reddit wants to continue to be a reference throughout the world, in fact we can find little or no competition if we do not take into account Forocoches, another of the great Spanish-speaking news forums, although it does not approach the number of visits and interaction that Reddit has .
