> Direct democracy is terrible. Look at reddit as an example.

A direct democracy might be good or bad but the reddit example does not really fit. As far as I know reddit is not going to pass local traffic laws or impose new federal taxes.

It won't but look at what gets popular. Since I worked there I know what would have been popular without spam controls, and it's even worse. Very few people read the articles before voting. They pretty much vote on headlines alone.

I certainly understand the part about the "population" getting out of control but isn't management (and you as a sort of enforcement) serving as government? It makes it a little more like a light hands dictatorship?

(Just for disclosure I am not a reddit user. Just some times when a search result looks useful).
