It still is a link aggregator and, aside from problems with the spam filter, it's a very good one.
People get confused about what reddit is; it isn't like digg or HN in that it is one link aggregator, it's a web service that allows you you to group similar webpages together.
It just so happens that the most popular groupings happen to be the least interesting to outliers, which should be obvious...this is why they're outliers.

Think about reddit like usenet, the grouping syntax is just different.
reddit.com/r/$group
instead of
$group.$subgroup.$subgroup.$subgroup
