major weakness of reddit is that content is subscribed to by category rather than by user ends up the unit of identify on that site is on the subreddit level. ie users don't have personalities, only subreddits have personalities

Thought about this. I think the categorisation is good, as it encourages development of deep knowledge in an area. Agree that only flairing to differentiate users is a bad thing. I wonder if they have considered altering the voting system to prefer some contributors

Sure, but I don't automatically see what organising around users (Twitter) is better than organising around categories (Reddit) In fact the greater hierarchy in Reddit may actually improve information quality.

I think user followed content is far more variable, as it is more dependent on you to follow the "right" people.
