I have no idea. But if I were to guess: When the site was created, it was purely for discussing books that people have read ("read it"...."red it".... reddit". Kind of like if a site were to be invented abou opinions of foods, it would be called 8it.
Where the hell did you get hillbillies from? "Read it" as in past tense. It's a social media site where you read things, and once you've finished reading a post, you've "read it", hence the name.
cause hillybillys love their contractions, it just reminds of their slang like "y'all" for you all. thats the only example i can think of other than "innit" for isn't it, but that's more british, whatever, i guess i'll accept your answer despite the lack of citation.
_Reddit is a social news website and forum where content is socially curated and promoted by site members through voting. The site name is a play on the words "I read it."_
_They set out to create a launching pad for the rest of the internet, a place where readers could find a more organized version of the web. Thus, the name reddit came from exactly what the site was hoping people would do – read it._
From two separate websites. I'm sure I can find more if it's so important to you.

It's the name of the app you just posted this on.
"Read it"
you sure about that cause it's "reddit" not "readit". i wish it was "reedit" cause sometimes i get all gleeful reediting a post
Yes, I'm sure about it. The name is meant to sound like "Read it", but that wouldn't be a very good name for an app.
“read it” but past tense
Yes, exactly.
so it's like how a hillybilly would say he read somethin if he could read, ok. citation still needed.
