For the former, I was thinking of novelty accounts, and how on the larger subreddits jokes about usernames and reddit personalities are rampant at the top comment levels. That's what I would call user-centric rather content-centric. (Additionally, things like bestofreddit, and also subs that are dedicated entirely to non-content things like helping people through charity or advice. Strays from news aggregator status into the internet community arena.) For the latter, I don't think that would be a particularly bad change, especially if you had to earn it first, in the same way you have to earn retagging privileges. I also notice there is no way to hide comment strings on hubski.
