honest question: Has Reddit gotten better or worse with time?

[–]severeon[S] 1 point2 points ago

Both, at the same time, equaling out to be different but with similar quality.

When I started lurking reddit, the community felt much less forgiving, kind of stoic, and much colder. Most posts had an aura of intelligence about them and comments were insightful. However, everything had the feel of slashdot (grammar and punctuation hounds), the content was less amusing, and the site was like a walled-garden.

These days memes, cats, weed, AMAs, and fucking imgur (I have a love / hate relationship with the service) rule reddit. The highest upvoted comments are almost always the wittiest, rather than the most meaningful. The frontpage is filled with cake-day nonsense, and content which has been rediscovered for the 10 millionth time. The upside to all of this being, the site is easier to get into for most people, you can browse it for a bit and get a laugh, and after using it for a week you're a veritable pantheon of useless knowledge.

tl/dr Old reddit is like Deckard Cain, modern reddit is like Carlos Mencia. Deckard is dry but intelligent. Carlos steals funny shit and acts like it's new - though he is still more entertaining, on a shallow level, than Deckard.

edit: added the tl/dr
