The project was originally supposed to be a joke -- a post with a photoshopped front page of the future. As one of the most popular Reddit posts in 2012, it took on a life of its own and Erickson was inspired.

According to Erikson,"The one comment that always stuck with me was users saying "I wish I could click those links!"

Years later, he presented Reddit 3016 to the interwebs.

As soon as the site went live last week, Erikson posted it to a Reddit forum. Though he claims to have a pretty good relationship with the company, it wasn't long until it was deleted from the main website and traffic supposedly died off.
