As long as there are people who care about sharing quality content on hubski, I think hubski should be able to avoid the issues that reddit faces. To me, reddit's problem is that it is now dominated by people who don't care about sharing quality, they only care about getting attention. Unfortunately, these two things don't coincide. I think if the attention-wh... er... cravers were to gravitate to hubski, the same tactics would still succeed, since the people who are amused by DAE, recycled memes and boring family/friend pictures would presumably migrate too. However, as mentioned by the other commenters, this shouldn't prevent people who aren't interested in this reddit-style content from continuing to share and enjoy quality content. The only potential issue is the streams of discovery becoming inundated with "bad" sharers to the point where quality sharers are impossible/difficult to find.
So to address MY problems with reddit, I think the most important focus should be insuring that the discovery tools are robust and effective, and do not cause less popular sharers to be drowned out.
