Reddit3016 网站是由一位名为 Blair Erickson 的人创办，目的是满足人们各种好奇心，试图告诉读者一千年以后的互联网到底是个什么样子，人们都在关注什么的新闻，该网站模仿Reddit书签交易社区开发而成。

To dream up all those stories, videos, and images, Erickson combined futuristic technology with what he sees as universal themes around human conversation. If you read graffiti in Roman bath houses you see human beings make… the same silly things even thousands of years in the past. Who’s sleeping with who. What kind of foreigners disturb their xenophobic feelings. Who’s a badass. What they like, what they hate. Who is a liar in politics, etc. So I wanted to play it out in a fun futuristic way.

在 Reddit 3016 ，发帖时间已经不用天，而是日照循环这种术语来表示。网站上的新闻灵感来源于他看的各种小说、影片和网友的评论。他回顾了一千多年前罗马浴室上的各种涂鸦，并发现了人们在千年以来一直在做那些看上去有些愚蠢的事情。
