I wonder if there would be any value to go and start a bunch of new subs on reddit, with a very specific set of guidelines. Essentially an army of bots could populate these and it would serve as pure noise. A sort of DDOS if you will. I don’t think this could affect big subs, but it would drown out any smaller subs. Anyways, it’s just a thought.

Really? I thought Christian was done. I haven’t seen anything about him making changes to Apollo’s architecture or opening the source code.

My thinking is if you are looking for profitability through eyes on content (ads), then yes. However, I feel content creators are probably higher quality lurkers and I trust their upvotes and downvotes more.

You’re right, this isn’t a private club it’s an open community. I’m not so sure simply having more upvotes makes content successful. I don’t see the correlation between popularity and quality of content. If our content is good, we’ll attract the right community.
