Just realize that if SN ever becomes as popular as Reddit, it will inherit all of its problems (eg. the userbase is the problem).
The early days of Reddit, it was primarily a libertarian, freedom loving, Ron Paul-focused place. The hoards of unwashed commie masses changed that.
Redditors are cheap. They won’t zap or pay to post.

Exactly! Outcomes follow incentives and @k00b has built better incentives.

In my experience, anything that becomes too popular eventually starts to suck.
