Everything is broken into subreddits on reddit and if you learn to select the subreddits that interest you instead of just reading the "rage comic" and "pet picture" subreddits it might be of more interest.

Rage comics, advice animals, scumbag x, etc have bled over into virtually every subreddit now. It's basically part of reddit's culture.

I've said it before, but you can unsubscribe from a subreddit, but you can't unsubscribe from a culture.

There are many subreddits where posts/comments along those lines get downvoted hard.

I haven't seen that at all on the sub-reddits I frequent. Maybe I just haven't been looking hard enough, but I still find /r/machinelearning, /r/semanticweb, /r/compscipapers, /r/csbooks, etc. to be very useful.

Agreed. My mix of subreddits is article heavy and awesome. I'm always a little surprised when I find myself logged off on the default front page - about 85% imgur links at least.
