The paper is fairly interesting from a methodological POV, and I do agree with the hypothesis that negative feedback actually does encourage trolls too, but none of those communities are anything close to reddit in their scope. The biggest problem I see in making the analogy is the fact that two of the four communities(allkpop, IGN) studied are fairly myopic in their subject focus, and subject to filter bubbles.
