True, mostly. I do find it wearing that so many interesting reddit discussions would be so much easier without the 50% that's all the "your mum" jokes and "username fits" easy karma wins.

That varies considerably by subreddit. I do agree with you though. Many Redditors are not longer form type people.

I tend to skim, and when I find something compelling, I power through where the subs do little about those things.

Some subs do cultivate better, longer form writing, and or less of the Reddit "BS."

And, I vary too. It's not always annoying. Mixed in there are some real zingers. Love those.

I confess I vary too - sometimes there's a few really clever ones. I think it's most frustrating in the busier subs where the pollution gets out of hand. I;m much more forgiving of the odd digression on here or the more on topic subs.

We all have our shallow moments. I relish them. :D
