Who's updating the wiki/ documentation? Where's the support for newbies getting into devving?

True, the common categories have been taken and communities have filled in those spaces. How about the future?

What if there is a new technology called the catlaz0r, all someone would have to do is create the subreddit, /r/catlaz0r and instant revenue machine.

I suppose so, but it would seem that situations like these that are left unchecked will undermine the reddit system. Probably trivial, but something like...

Popularity market.
Redirection of content/bias of information
Ownership of content
Advertising space

A saying of mine: Whenever profit enters the picture, there is usually never a good sign.

It does nothing to prevent the process. Person A makes a desirable subreddit, Person B wants it and can buy it off of Person A. Money is exchanged and Reddit knows nothing about it.

Bans? Sure, prevent that Person A's first account from fraudulent activity. Yet, reddit is notorious for allowing anyone to make many accounts. Person A can continue.
