I think that the community itself matters significantly. IMO, the articles that I get from Hacker News are much more valuable than the articles that I consume from Reddit or Digg. In fact, I have seen a steady decline in the quality of content that I get from Reddit because of the surge of mainstream users.

It's not a surge of mainstream users. It's a surge of young users. People often forget that the entire internet is younger than you, and will be for the rest of your life. The average age on reddit is 21.
