I agree regarding barriers to entry. I'm brand new, but I like that there is some level of incentive, not just a barrier, for both contribution as well as active involvement, which is better then imaginary internet points.

Hey!

Reddit probably won't fall down, but this particular instance is where I pack my bags and leave. To be frank, not a huge fan of corporate culture, and that is exactly what seems to be happening with Reddit. Understand the need to monetize, but appears as though they are looking to go back on the whole 'end-user determines their content' philosophy. Oh, and transparency.

Nothing to protest-

Anyways like the feel of the site, very impressed with it's style, needs some growth, but that will come I'm sure.
