There really ought to be a filter there to ignore the most mainstream subreddits. AskReddit's value is below zero. (same questions and answers being posted over and over)
If it could integrate a blocklist like what Reddit Enhancement Suite uses, then I'd definitely consider it. I've filtered about 200 subreddits. That sounds like a lot, but there are a ton of duplicate terrible meme/armchair politics/lazy content subreddits worth hiding.
The funny thing is, there was a time I thought reddit was "much better" than the likes of youtube and twitter for "serious topics" but over the past few years I've realized its the same thing, just being drawn out several paragraphs, lol.
I don't think RES offers such a feature, but I could be wrong. Even if it did, mine is personalized, there are other subreddits sprinkled in there that others might not want to block.
