The argument I had with first Chris Slowe, then Jeremy Edberg, then Erik Martin was that a "default" page is stupid and loads up all the terrible subreddits with chaff. I argued that every user's "default" page ought to be /r/help and that they should offer a quick and simple way to find things the user might like and make it easy to add. it was that "quick and simple way" that they tripped over. There is no useful subreddit discovery method on Reddit and probably never will be. They didn't build it in at the beginning, and it's too late to add one now.
