Two comments: I like the idea of a "reddit for PhDs" because the community would "upvote" on the papers that are deemed important. You may need to have to have a different way of choosing which papers make the front page because papers don't necessarily follow the same trends as youtube videos. I don't think academics want to "_easily_ host papers", they want to do research. They rely on Nature and Science to be the clearing house for quality research not the download source. Once published, the papers are downloaded, emailed, read, etc. as needed.
