I agree that Hubski has more intelligent discussions, but I'm not convinced it's a result of the Hubski system itself. I think it's just a more thoughtful community. Reddit had thoughtful discussions before it became mainstream. Same as Facebook and others. Hubski still encourages group think by pushing voted comments and posts to the top. The advantage it does have is a lack of a downvote mechanism. On Reddit, a single person can hide a post or comment by downvoting early. So there's greater incentive to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
