But you might frustrate newbies ("I can't get links onto the front page! Too snobby for me, I'm going elsewhere!"). And users are ultimately ad-bait at places like Reddit. If Reddit could get Digg's traffic by losing whatever quality they have, they would in a heartbeat (or Conde-Nast would make them), whatever regret the original developers might feel about it.

And I'd venture that people do this anyways. It's just that the power of the original community voice got watered down by treating every vote equally.
