I hope you take this constructively but none of the design decisions you've described sound like they have any chance of working toward your stated goal of fostering high quality content and discussion: 1. Tags are not the equivalent of subreddits. They throw away the good parts of subreddits. You can't foster a community around a niche with tags. Submitting the same content to multiple subreddits is an optimization not really even related to the problem of high quality content. 2. Incentivizing/rewarding high quality content isn't enough to prevent low quality content. Without moderation, you'll have enough terrible content get through that those incentives don't outweigh the poor experience. 3. Crypto tips are not a strong incentive to create high quality content. I would never even consider participating in this for that reason alone. It is one thing to not want crypto-bashing, it is another to assume that people want crypto tips instead of upvotes and downvotes. 4. The machine learning idea also goes against what made subreddits so useful: what is great about Reddit is that it doesn't just feed you random posts you might like, instead it fosters small communities. People create meaningful content for their communities. Content curated by ML is not as meaningful. 5. All those things above that I mentioned in theory, show up in practice when I go to your site. The front page is already a low quality spam dump. If you want to come up with a solution to your goal I would focus on aspects of other platforms that work well, and innovate/improve on them, rather than throwing the good parts away entirely and hoping it will be better just because it's different. Learn what makes Reddit great and what makes it not so great. The people who are participating in the current reddit blackout are protesting being locked out of using third party apps that enhance the user experience. They are not protesting the design of how subreddits work, lack of crypto tips with upvotes, or the fact that subreddits are moderated. Millions of people just want Reddit almost exactly as it is but without being forced to use the official app due to API prices locking them out.
