It has all the ups and downs of humanity as a whole of course, but as other users have said specific subs (usually less popular and well moderated) are where the gold is.

My main problem with Reddit is the repetitive in-culture jokes, memes, and reposts. A lot of content is pandering to the Reddit audience with a flavour that is calculated to win over the crowd (see all the complaints on /r/pics of political signs or weight loss progress pics - it pisses a lot of people off because there's better places for it, but gets upvotes from the masses).

If reposts are a problem for you then you're spending too much time there.

Had an account for 12 years, lurked for at least a year before. The reposts are extremely frequent. They just get lower resolution as the years go on.

Reddit is now a couple visits a week for me because of reposts etc.
