The problem Reddit runs into that Slashdot or Hubski don't is the absurd quantity of votes. Slashdot stops you at what? 5? Hubski stops at 8 or whatever. My top voted comment on Reddit has 6900 upvotes. That's three orders of magnitude higher than either other aggregator (say that three times fast). The mistake, i think, is in presuming that three additional orders of magnitude gives you any advantage whatsoever in sorting.
