It might be conceivable on smaller subreddits, but on the big ones it would basically just drown everything into a sea of low-quality threads. I got the feeling that the vast majority of threads never ever make it to the "front page" of their subreddit.

The big subreddits' comment sections is largely low quality anyway.

Traditional forums have their downsides (anyone remember super nested quote trains?), but I still find them superior to upvote + nested replies.

The best forum UI for me, though, are imageboards. Too bad they are associated with a less than popular community.

Hm good points..
