< Reddit Probably isn't broken

I have a dream of writing a reddit reader of sorts that uses basic machine learning to strip out all of the empty content on the site (the complaints from above) and then also have it worker like an RSS reader instead of the reddit feed where you keep getting the same content over and over in different orderings every time you visit. I like the RSS reader experience of the post going away (from your feed) once you read it.

I think want I'm really looking for is stack overflow to merge with reddit to create some highly moderated site of quality content on any subject you might be interested in.

or a super pipe dream, a world without trolls to ruin things, where reddit could become a sort of wikipedia, where each post becomes a entry that can be constantly edited and updated so over time the post contains all the relevant information on that topic and people can build it up as opposed to just starting over from scratch every time someone re-asks the same question again.
