&gt; You might not think it&#x27;s a problem, but it&#x27;s still a problem for Reddit: the conversation is generally inferior to the standards required for it to see mass adoption.<p>Uhm, what? Low quality comments have never been a barrier for a website reaching mass adoption. In fact, mass adoption has been what has crippled the discussion in the biggest subredits. In any case, when discussing the quality of the comments, mass adoption is beside the point as far as we (average users that have no financial stake in reddit) are concerned.
