Context matters. Reddit began as a small, insular community of erudite geeks. It continued that way for a few years, flourishing into a large, insular community of erudite geeks. However, Reddit is engineered first and foremost for hit-and-run pageviews and low-effort content so once it hit a critical mass, it magnified and proliferated hit-and-run pageviews and low-effort content. So when you say "I like Reddit just fine, you just have to look at it like you'd look at Twitter" you're effectively saying "there's nothing wrong with LFTB so long as you think of it like spam or bologna." You're not wrong. But you're also not convincing people who miss their steak. The fact that you've never eaten a cow that hasn't been through a blender doesn't make you morally superior, it makes you naive.
