Third: Reportedly, Google has tapped into Reddit as a data hub for person to person interaction.
There has also been some interesting reporting of hidden 'community score' metrics which are attached to user accounts being discussed. Here's one comment linking to several discussions.
To the last link about the contributor quality score:
"The CQS use different criteria, such as:
Past actions taken on a user’s account or content (within a given time frame) on the account in question as well as on alt accounts
Network and location signals
Steps a user has taken to secure their account (e.g. email verification)"

If you make a post on that subreddit you will get an automod message telling you what your score is.
