If it does take off, I'd be happy to begin subdividing the site into categories in order to help it scale better. By subdividing, there would always be a manageable stream of content within those categories for discovery.

Regarding your point about this not completely eliminating the promotional aspect of gaining a followship, that's not what Phrot is ultimately about. I agree if you really want a followship, you do have to work hard to build it up, and if you're publishing content on a daily basis, that's not what Phrot is for, you can use a wordpress blog or something similar for that. I should also make it clear that we're all about promoting and rewarding good content that wouldn't otherwise be discovered, not giving a chance in the spotlight to everything that gets submitted regardless of how good or bad it is.
