Snapzu is definitely underpopulated, but it is somewhat newer compared to other places. On top of that, the sign-up process is a little more involved which I am sure deters a lot of people who would be considered trolls, or the "bad apples" that you would see in places like reddit and 4chan.
I think this community will grow over time. The great thing is that it is not THAT easy to register, and so you either waiting for a code to come your way, or you have friends who trust you to act appropriately on the site.
Agreed. I think that keeping Snapzu invite only is an excellent initial deterrent to the problems that eventually landed us where we are now. I keep thinking of Digg for some reason. It's like these communities hit a critical mass where they're no longer self-sustainable, which means advertising. Fortunately, Snapzu sounds like they're committed to an ad-free experience, so we the community should be as concerned with preserving this ecosystem as much as they are.
Bill Burr is one of my favorite comedians, and he has a joke about the need for a plague, that would effectively wipe out a majority of the population. Trimming the fat, so to speak. While I think that's a bit extreme, can we find a balance between ensuring a fresh experience for users and not hitting that critical threshold?
