I grew up when the Internet was essentially a bunch of forum communities and 10k people was a lot of people. Something Awful felt massive with 300k registered users.
You don't need 150,000,000 people on a subreddit to have a good community.
Communities are far better when you can recognize the names of people and remember then from previous interactions. On Reddit, you'll probably never talk to the same person twice.
You can't have a community full of bots if there are only a few hundred people who all know each other.
