But there is definitely room for a subscription that either boosts user engagement (not sure how that would work)

Swap "subscription" for "multiple small transactions" and you have the new gold system. So Reddit is already doing what you (and me, and everyone else) was predicting them to, we just didn't know "how".

It'll likely fail hard though, at least in the long run. For similar reasons as Digg failed.
