Apparently, Reddit didn’t learn anything from Digg

This reminds me of the youtube dislike button thing. When a popular majority opinion pops up against the rich, it usually brings lots of gold and platinum awards which drives engagement and visibility. It is not very advertiser/owner class friendly and gives too much power to the masses.

Any new system they create, if any, will not allow this kind of behavior.
