    I think like with any zero-cost thing, there going to be a long tail phenomenon where there are many many MANY low population/sales/user/usage items.

    Be it music streaming, book sales, subreddits, communities, FB groups, blogs, flickr photos… basically where there’s no (tangible) cost of inventory/hosting/storage/production.

    The upside is that almost everyone can find a niche. Even if it’s a small niche.

    Mods should have some control and rationalize them.

    This really depends on the goals of the platform. Do they want to spend the time deleting 2-person communities when it doesnt bother anyone (except maybe you)? What is the philosophy of the platform’s owner?
