The memes destroyed a large part of reddit's intellectualism. Not that it descended to the depths of youtube comments, but it was still a fall.

Which is a 1:1 with the age demo of the site lowering precipitously. When I noticed the uptick of memes and posts about living with parents and going to HS I knew there was a big change on the site. There are still many good individual subreddits but the bigger they get the worse the contributors get. It says a lot that even in the small, dedicated subs meme posts are usually at the top of the 'all time' sort.
