My guess is that the namer wanted the connotation to be: LET ME.

How exciting!

But honestly — I try to get people to join and inevitably they say…”Why, so I can follow all the other stupid lemmings?”

      Will never understand why “Redditor” became the name for users when “Reders” (readers) follows the message of the site name so much better

      I always liked redditor because it sounded like editor. And reddit sounded like “read it” but looked like “re-edit”. For all it became, it was a great name.
