someone on reddit made some secret subreddits for certain acievements:
- controversial club - one of the most controvertial posts on reddit within an hour
- popular club - top 25 posts on reddit of the day
- eternity club - popular club clone
- ternion club - popular club but you also got ternion
etc…
why they exist? who knows, but i guess they are no longer secrets
Yes and no. Invite only clubs risk become extreme echo chambers because they self select their members. Arguably much of social media often becomes echo chambers as people self select what they want to see. But if you then add in secret invite only clubs you’re creating echo chambers within echo chambers.
Beware the alure of exclusivity, it can be false gold.
