I don't think I like that direction. The fact that they are changing the fundamentals of a user based community to accommodate celebrities seems a bit misguided and disturbing to me. Ideally, a site like reddit is supposed to be a platform where an ordinary person can express himself, and make his thoughts known to others. Shifting the focus over to celebrities is only going to take that away from the users, as it changes the conversation from the concerns of the users to the concerns of the celebrities.
