Curation is the lifeblood of Reddit and some subs are insane in their quality and dedication. Maybe there are some in those subs who would contribute longer form content to Lifhacker in the future but the differing business models makes this unlikely in the near term IMHO

On the other hand, you can end up in situations where moderators are the only source of truth. The california subreddit is an example of this. 432k subscribers, yet the vast majority of posts come from a single moderator. At least they are posting mainstream news articles and not fringe content, but this seems to depend on one person with no check or balance.
