&gt; Reddit seems perfectly capable of quality within its structure - AskScience and AskHistorians seen like good examples.<p>I&#x27;ve seen people point to specific subreddits as quality before, but I&#x27;ve never found it to be true.<p>To verify, I just did a quick peruse through &#x2F;r&#x2F;AskScience. While the questions themselves are generally good and the SNR is definitely higher than Reddit overall, I hardly think it&#x27;s an emblem of quality. There are plenty of drive-by comments with low substantive value and the combination of Reddits norms and algorithms don&#x27;t seem to do a good job of burying those—even on the &quot;best&quot; subreddits.
