Reddit skews consistently young though. Too young for many people's tastes (including mine). There is just too much meme-noise in subreddits that are not well moderated. Shallow thinking and childish antics derail any deep conversation.

You are correct that reddit confuses truth with popularity though. That meme needs to die

Yes, on Reddit the zoomers are a larger problem than the boomers.

Default subreddits today basically feel like being in elementary school all over again, the average age is like 14.

Funny enough that childlike behavior is probably from people in their 30s
