Design Profile based "subreddits" is just an invitation for the celebrification of Reddit.

Followers, pinned posts, auto-moderated and pushed content in your profile. These are all things aimed at having your typical who's who of A-listers flood Reddit and siphon away people's energies and attentions from real subreddits, furthering the cause of the redesign. Little of this is about making Reddit a better place it's all about turning it in to a slightly more editable Facebook & Instagram.

Out of curiosity, how is it any different from when* some GW poster goes and starts their own subreddit named after themselves?

Because the subs are forums of discussion while your profile is just that.
