a) The site should say a ton more on the front page. Frankly I don't really understand what it does. Is it a standalone job board, or do the listings automatically appear on the the actual reddit site?
b) Starting price is fairly high. If the thing will automatically appear on reddit, then it might be justified somewhat, but even then, its pretty easy to get frontpage on programming reddit. If the thing doesn't appear on reddit, then the prices are just plain insane, why would I pay $300 or even $175 for something that gets no traffic.
c) If I like the job, why would I upvote it so that I get more competition?
RedditJobs will definitely leverage reddit's (large) community - the volume will be there.
as for (c), voting doesn't affect the ranking of the jobs. We record the votes and share them with employers to get them some feedback on how their jobs are perceived.
Do you really want employers getting into a popularity contest though?
It may change how a company presents itself but I can't imagine it'll cause any of them to really change their company to make it more developer friendly.
