Kuro5hin's alexa rank is about 300,000 also many stories have significant pagerank. One can see from google trends that k5 is a popular site to read, but the five dollar one-time troll suppression fee discourages new members.

That fee was established to keep a lid on Jason Pawloski, no one else.

Unfortunately, five dollars is far beyond the means of much of the earth's population.
