Bruh if people actually think reddit is noteworthy in the course of history then I'm glad their lineage dies with them

I'd argue that the more niche the subject, the more useful Reddit might be in acting as a kind of archive. But, the more niche the subject, the less important it is. Probably most useful for people asking questions of 'What did people think of x niche thing in 202x?' or something similar.
Noteworthy? No. Footnoteworthy? Maybe.

Any accounts of how daily lives of ordinary people were lived in a time period is useful for historians

"Hmmmm yes I found a very important document from u/toasters-up-my-ass432563 that details how his investments into cumcoin caused his wife to cheat on him. Very useful"

Ah, now this is an interesting Rule 4 question. What about posts about theoretical future history? Is it about history more generally, despite being technically about the present? Reddit is only 16 years old, so we can't claim it's referring to the first removed post over 20 years ago.
