User pays is equally as ridiculous as mod pays.

No way as a user i would pay $10/yr when there are multiple sites that will do the same thing as Reddit for free.

Im not interested in paying any website for the privilege of expressing my opinion and reading others.

I see two valuable things for the end user at reddiit: a. Finding good sub reddits (out of 500k am sure that is a pain) b. Getting their content some sort of traction in the community which is ofcourse mod configured & rev shared with the mod maybe.

Do you think users would pay for this? besides, do you think the 2nd point has a scope of creeping in poop?

I agree that there are users who would pay for that. Indeed, there are successful business models based on this idea already. Those models see nothing like the traffic that Reddit gets, so they are not as interesting to advertisers.

Yes, i see point b) having a scope of creeping in poop.

I'm pretty sure that point b) was a large part of the reason for the downfall of Digg.
