I think the thing that would set Upvoted apart, and that's basically the one reason it could work, is the fact that under the hood it is Reddit. Reddit has an enormous community that practically supplies stories and also validates them as "traffic-worthy".
I've seen several articles on other news sites that were clearly inspired by a popular post on Reddit, though I can't currently find a good example. If other people are doing it, why not Reddit themselves?
- jonlucc 11y agoEvery terrestrial radio station I've listened to has a story a couple times a month about the "top 10 things people said about something" that is lifted directly from a top post in /r/AskReddit. Some stations mention that it's from Reddit, but some don't.
