I dont understand why you would try to generalise a site with 110 million users and billions of pageviews. It's a very narrow point of view to hold.

If you go through the top 125 subreddits [0], I think you would find that a small number of them can be categorised as you say - but the vast majority would all hold their own nuances and generalisations
