It's like everybody who have been saying bad things about reddit are people who just heard about it after the iCloud breach, even the guy who wrote the verge article. Not that I think reddit is a flawless site (because it isn't, I agree it's gotten downhill within the past year because of the frontpage changes for putting good subreddits which actually leads to bad content among the masses because of the way content is catered through the voting system) but the way these authors are shaming on it are mostly invalid claims by identifying reddit as a whole.
