I see this response every time somebody criticizes reddit, and I think it matters little. Even when you get off the defaults, many of the niche interests are segmented into multiple subreddits due to infighting and conflicts. And beyond that, even if you find a peaceful sub, the whole site is overflowing in bot-driven karma farming that reposts the same things every few months, and of course, my least favorite: armchair experts. I participated in many subreddits on subjects that I'm a professional in and saw repeatedly how often speaking confidently was heralded more than speaking factually.
