Reddit has large radical left and radical right communities that are constantly fighting and overwhelm the site with political drama and propaganda. If they don't do something about it they are going to lose the users that come there to look at cats.

A Digg reskin* with a huge library of adult content.

*By Digg reskin, I am referring to Digg right before everyone left. I mean, there is a high possibility that any sort of "Reddit v3" would cause people to leave.
