The amount of traffic both sites had at the time was minuscule to what Reddit has now.

When you become huge, inertia is incredibly strong.

It's all about enthusiasts and early adopters (who are very fickle) and late adopters and laggards (who are very much the opposite of fickle). Crossing the chasm. Reddit has crossed the chasm.
