benlkeith He helps run a reddit specifically for fans of him. Did he *seek* it initially? Perhaps not. Did he actively cultivate it, interact w/it, make strategic decisions about how to moderate his audience? Did he write w/awareness of his impact and used it to persuade? I think so.Permalink On twitter.com
