When Two College Students Built the Front Page of the Internet
What happens when you combine video game addiction, waffle house philosophy, and a rejected startup pitch? You get Reddit-a platform that would fundamentally reshape how millions of people consume information online. But this story isn't really about Reddit. It's about a radical idea: that the most powerful force in modern innovation isn't permission from experts, investors, or gatekeepers-it's the audacity to build something people love and the internet to share it with the world. Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman weren't prodigies. They were ordinary college roommates who bonded over gaming marathons and late-night convenience store runs. Their first startup idea, a mobile food ordering app inspired by Sheetz, got rejected by Y Combinator. Instead of giving up, they pivoted in three weeks to create "the front page of the internet"-a simple list of links with up and down arrows. No algorithms deciding what you should see. No corporate sponsors determining what matters. Just users voting on content they found valuable. This minimalist design wasn't just aesthetic-it was philosophical. It declared that communities, not executives, should determine what deserves attention.
