During the most busy times of my life I spent an enormous amount of time on reddit. I was on a plane so much I barely had time to see my real life friends and family. I love browsing the subs of different cities I'm about to visit as well. I think your experience is slightly jaded.
Reddit caters to people who are bored, angry, and have a lot of free time. People don't spend hours complaining on Reddit when everything else is going great in their lives. The people commenting in that thread (before it hit the front page) had to actively seek out that topic and choose to subscribe to it. It's the opposite of random sampling.
Reddit's front page is only an indicator of what active Redditors are thinking and saying, nothing more.
