It can really come down to who you're talking to.

I use old.reddit.com and have a heavily filtered r/all for general news (which I could do without), and specifically participating in discussions that are almost entirely text around what may or may not be a text post.

Other people use it like an image board or video feed.

I do agree that reducing the amount of media can mitigate junk, though.
