The problem currently on Reddit is that you're not getting even civil discussion. Just drive-byes, tired memes, regurgitated idiocy, trolls, spam, disinfo, and the like. Most particularly on the larger subs, but even on most of the smaller ones I'd once found at least occasionally rewarding.
The sour taste from both that and the site's inevitable migration to something I wish to have nothing to do with kills whatever faint interest I might have in seeking information there.
Maybe this is just another instance of trivialisation of a mass medium, as happened with print, radio, television, cable, and much of the rest of the Internet already. But then, I didn't wallow in that filth either.
Good Internet discussion sites come and go. Cesspits accumulate.
