Forums and blogs were usually targeted towards a fairly specific audience. A sports forum wouldn't have much content covering computers, for example. Sites like Reddit have subs for all sorts of topics. This makes it easier to attract an audience, and even recommend it to friends who only have a passing interest in your favourite subject, as there's likely to be somewhere for them to talk about their favourite subject without having to log in to another site.
