    Exactly, content is and always will be king. For better or worse, that “highly curated” front page of Reddit will be curated to draw as many people in as possible. We don’t have the luxury of algorithms or a full moderation team to weed out the spam ana the chaff, we only have ourselves. Its our Greatest superpower and we should leverage it where we can.

      It reminds me of Netflix’s habit of cancelling great shows and imstead making more and more trash TV because that’s what is getting more views. It’s what the masses who don’t care that much want. Reddit, like Netflix, are chasing the broadest possible user base as possible. I used to go to Reddit for neat conversations about niche topics. Then it became an echo chamber of one liners and memes, which while fun, is antithetical to what I originally was there for.
