I agree that the front page seems saturated with poor content, but I still like the small hurdle to get full access to the sites features.

I know it's something of a sin to mention it, but I was at Reddit for 2 years and didn't contribute with a single comment. Conversely, after only a few weeks here at Voat I finally made my very first post today and am finding that it's not as intimidating after taking that first step. The full site features were incentive enough to push me to contribute to the site!

That's my personal experience. I see your point with all the terrible posts, but I think that those are always going to be the symptom of a democratized system of visibility. The good content is still in there, you just gotta avoid the bad subs like /v/funny and /v/gifs
