I've started using Reddit less and less. It used to be a great place to interact with other people who were deeply engaged and knowledgeable about hobbies, interests, and even professions. But over time the average response to my questions and comments on Reddit has dramatically lowered in quality. I think the demographic has skewed much younger, with more teenagers and kids than before. Which means that when I ask questions, particularly ones that might be even slightly technical, it's met with dozens of answers that come straight from the first page of Google...

I feel it's probably just a reversion to the mean effect. As more people adopt the Reddit platform, the platform becomes more and more like facebook.
