Is that really appropriate for things that are just launched? Out of infinite possibilities, the number of things an app doesn't do are practically infinite. Is there really value in always whining about all the things a just launched app doesn't do yet?

Why am I talking about only new apps? Because that's what these kinds of sites are always going to mostly be about. Scoops on new things - news - is what drives votes on these kinds of news sites. Therefore, you're always going to get mostly new, incomplete things.

Encouraging people to point out the flaws, on a platform that only votes new flaw-filled brand new things to the top -- results in a very predictable outcome: incomplete stuff always voted to the top and people always whining about the incompleteness.
