Reddit has definitely had cultural significance. That's why AMAs used to happen there so often and it was in the news for months after the Boston Bomber. It's like 4chan in that it seems super niche but it pops up every now and then in the cultural zeitgeist, sometimes for bad reasons like The Donald leading the charge for a Trump presidency and sometimes for good reasons like the niche hobby subs.
