Reddit and other sites of the link-aggregator-forum hybrid model are built on developing communities. Microblogging is a much more individualist approach and Twitter especially is built on developing followings for prominent people to have a soap box with a large audience. The only site that is comparable in terms of developing cults of personality is youtube and Musk had no hope of buying that.
