IDEA: An invite-only annual-subscription social news site.
EXPLANATION: Digg and Reddit get worse as more people join. As a mob of users joins the original dedicated core, the average user value drops. The new users post and promote mediocre stories; they carry on worse discussions.
Make a voting site that stays small! Charge users $20 a year to submit, vote for, or comment on stories. Users can invite other users. Certain users are granted free one-year invitations at the moderator’s will.
ROYALTIES REQUESTED: Free membership for life.
