I agree that Hubski doesn't have to be that way, but with the user base I see (and obviously all of this is tainted by the influence of my hub) this is the "ideal" of Hubski. I've run my mouth in a few other posts about how I think that the brilliance of Hubski comes from the ability to host all kinds of diversity without promoting any corner over any other. On the other hand, until it reaches a critical mass of users who enjoy cat pictures, any cat picture person who joins will be disappointed in it unless they also like long comments and discussions about the nature of the site/science/music/whatever else is popular that day.
