View submission: Introducing r/popular
I don't see why it would be complicated. When you log in at first, you see the popular page like you always have. It's not customized at all, it's the same page everyone gets. The only difference is the toggle switch at the top. You might toggle it, see the other page is empty, maybe with a "you should subscribe to more subreddits!" message, and you go right back to /r/popular. As you spend more and more time here, you naturally gravitate toward subs you find interesting, and that subscribed page gets more and more populated. Eventually, you find yourself spending more time there than you do in /r/popular, and eventually you just set that to your default page instead.
It's very similar to how older users' reddit habits evolved, except without the part where we had to unsubscribe from defaults we didn't like.
There's nothing here!
