From my experience, it hasn't been the 'old guard' that's worried about that transformation you discussed, it's been users who are just getting their feet wet. I think everyone who is at all involved on the site goes through a 'I hope this doesn't become reddit 2.0' and that fear usually dissipates with time.

As someone that has had a front row seat to every one of these influxes, I can assure you that you are correct. It's nearly entirely the new wave that makes the predictions that Hubski will eventually decline etc, etc. Then, several weeks pass and it all subsides. -Good observation.

You may be right over all. I have heard a few of the old guard slight the young guard, and that was the basis of my generalization.
