Is Reddit a web masterpiece?

Let's take a look at some FACTS:

Reddit has the best users of any other Touhou-related internet community. The users are very helpful, which really adds to the whole experience of posting.

Reddit is the most supportive Touhou-related internet community. The whole idea of not calling Easy mode players "elementary school kids" is brilliant. Reddit took a classic premise and made it its own. Not only that, but they added an improvement: players are encouraged to get better, but not in an elitist fashion.

Reddit arguable has the best cast of visitors. Their talents are impressive as well as their personalities. Each visitor leaves a lasting impression on you. The cast is practically BEAMING with talent, not to mention they're not disgusting otakus like people in /jp/: Yatsuzume? Check. A fuckton of awesome original content creators? Check.

Reddit has an almost ACTUAL con: Redditaisai. The fact that western community was able to create a con shows how much original creators there are.

Reddit has the best gimmick out of any other website: flairs. It's a small picture of a Touhou character that encourages users to pick favourites and to care about them, which is useful when it comes to Touhou, not just Reddit.
Not only that, but because of flairs, there are flair-related threads.
They have their own unique idea, which, in turn, makes flairs more fun and important.

Reddit has the best layout out of any other website with a Touhou content... a changing header? Check. A list of rules just to your right? Check. Tags for posts? Check.

Reddit has the best threads out of any other Touhou website. It's very clear that Reddit users take their time with them. Each thread is SO unique and SO memorable (except shitposts, ignore them). Not only that, but they're very pleasant to participate in. I'd argue that each thread has it's own personality, if you know what I mean.

Reddit has the best moderating cast: s_reed, yagi_takeru, Fauxmis, Imosa1, Mamizou, LordAlfredo, Hrusa. Each moderator cares about Touhou and judges fairly. Each mod decision is SENSIBLE. This isn't the case for any other Touhou website with any number of moderators, as there always seems to be a dick.

Reddit has arguably the best original content of any other Touhou community. One may argue that it's because other communities have little to none original content, but they'd be DEAD wrong. Reddit's OC is superior not only in quantity, but in quality too (except shitposts, ignore them).

P.S. No, Reddit is not "filled with shitposts". The entire fact that you can tell shitposts apart from non-shitposts indicates overall high quality of content. Every thread on /jp/ apart from this one is essentially a shitpost, yet you don't complain. That's because Reddit is better, so you have better expectations (or that you're a disgusting otaku who lives to shitpost and so doesn't mind /jp/-style shitposts).
