I should have quoted a smaller part of that point. I wanted to emphasize the bit about reputation affecting visibility of posts. Reddit had karma, but it didn't (as far as I know) affect the chance a post makes it to the front page or top of a subreddit.
As a matter of survival, all social sites defer to users. Good or bad, is again subjective. If your looking for an agreeable one (whatever the context) , then I suggest no site of this ilk will or should suffice. Someone, out of necessity, is always in control.
