Reddit Traffic has Exploded in 12 Months

Anyone feel lost in the high amount of traffic? I have been a redditor for 5 years and I feel not only has the traffic grown considerably but the content submitted has changed so much. The tone of the site has changed enough that I only subscribe to usually low user count subreddits.

I've been subscribed to only non-default subreddits for so long I didn't even notice the traffic growth, except for the occasional fail-whale. The niche parts of the site are still good.

So which subreddits do you find interesting? I tend to browse the fringe parts, too, but even there there's an increase in noise, low-brow comments, and narrow-minded fundamentalism.

For me, the valuable subreddits are the Touhou, Vocaloid, Haskell, and philosophy of science subreddits.

I'm not giving a value judgement I'm saying the site has changed so much in candor.
