They might end up with more users, but I've noticed that the content on Reddit is consistently declining in quality. Kind of worrying to me. Smaller subreddits might be enough to save the site though.
I'm very annoyed that anytime I see an insightful, top-level comment on Reddit, there is just a string of meaningless puns starting a comment or two below it. So essentially I just browse, read the top-level comment, read the child comments until I see the first pun, then move immediately to the next top-level comment down. It really just became a race to the bottom.
