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?
