In essence, this is the direction PH said they're going in. To create niches/communities around products.

There could also be some sort of sub quality indicator, perhaps merely based on submission and comment numbers/frequency, etc. For example, one country sub I know of, there's a lot of submissions and commenting but it's almost strictly politics, strictly in the language of the country, and everyone is extremely negative there. It's a shame for people to land on a country sub and see such things. On the other hand, taking another country sub I know as an example, they have two versions (one in English, one in their own language). The latter, in particular, has diversified quite a lot in the last 6 months or so and there are now many language-related (in regards to this country) subs as a result.
