Can I make a quick argument against this?

As we all know, Hubski will forever be compared to reddit. As I occasionally surf through /r/all I am stunned by the incredible high percentage of posts that are either images, gifs or videos, I'd estimate it at over 95% of the top posts. I think that part of this is how easy RES and other tools have made it to quickly view images and upvote them on reddit. This gives images an unfair advantage over longer content.

I know that the reply will be, "well you just have to curate who you follow" and yes this is true, but I guess the issue is to where you want the "soul" of Hubski to go.
