About making power-users' profiles more juied up...
Isn't what makes Reddit's community so engaging and high-touch the fact that the discussions are almost asocial... as in who they're talking to is less important. i feel like this provides a more democratic feeling that allows users to feel empowered to speak up. Twitter does a better job highlighting who the power users are and thus the conversations usually have to node through them. Do you find that it's in Reddit's interest to make it so possible to differentiate user avatars by clout?
Interesting article, one part appears incorrect to me. Searching within subreddits is possible. You need to be in the subreddit first and type your query in to the search bar. Then at the top of the search results there is a link "Show results from r/whatever". I believe previously when you searched in a subreddit it would automatically limit it to the subreddit but now you have to take an extra step. Not the most intuitive way to do it, but it is there.

Just an FYI for April Fools - Place was 2017, Robin was 2016.
Reminds me of Digg's early days, in some way. Have you guys seen https://upstract.com ?
