Can you elaborate?

Well, insomniasexx pretty much hit it on the head. Reddit offers instant thrills and it's easy to get distracted. Of course, users can tailor their experience too, but defaults make a huge impact on new users as far as tone and mentality. Hubski, from the get-go presents itself as the kind of place that one needs to interact with in a much more proactive way. Also, reddit exists as a foil to hubski, at least for me. I can get my cheap thrills and then head over here to learn something and to actually interact with users who are focused on the same kind of thing.

I see it as rather like accessing a tabloid newspaper for a fast dump of the day's news, then heading over to the Sundays for a more in-depth understanding of the issues.
