I agree in theory, but reddit is already causing a glut of low-hanging fruit.
To be fair, most people are on reddit. Getting just the small fraction of them that I came in with is exposing scaling problems.
One thing that might pull some users over would be to write an article on coping with the deluge of reddit users and how the admins expanded to handle the technical challenges. It's still news at the moment and a good technical achievement.
That could then be seeded to other discussion sites without looking like too much of an advertisement.
