content: yeah... it makes sense for people to not want to compare reddit to digg, with digg's catastrophic collapse and all, but ultimately they sit at the crossroads of a similar problem. The people who have the money that these companies need to operate have a different view of what the site should be than the power users who provide the lifeblood of the site. While I don't personally agree with hate speech or bullying or the other "basement" activities that go on with sites like these, I realize that it is more often these depraved loonies who are the generally the content creators. I think we have all seen the flow chart showing content going from 4chan->reddit->facebook/9gag/everywhere else. What is 4chan but the cesspool of the internet, and out of that filth comes the gold.
