I think it's unfair to compare your un-curated Reddit experience - which you admit is pretty good in a few niche subs - with your highly curated Facebook feed.

It's like saying that food in New York is awful because you reached into a trashcan and found a rancid bagel, but is awesome in Chicago because you looked up the nicest restaurant and spent $500 on a meal there.

Not really a matter of fairness or unfairness more an explanation of why I prefer Facebook to Reddit in that it allows that curation.

That doesn't really hold water. You can choose which subs you're subscribed to.

Reddit also allows curation; you've just used the curation tools on Facebook and have not used those on Reddit.
