By far the worst mistake that reddit makes is the emphasis it gives to r/all, and the way that impacts its public reputation, and shapes its audience. Reddit's algorithms are nowhere near sophisticated enough to compare long form articles to memes, and at this stage it is a failure even to attempt to do so. The site should abandon r/all, and probably also default subreddits, and make itself a repository of independent communities, which each rise or fall organically, according to their utility to their readers, rather than according to their desire to evangelize to the general community. The current system is built for abuse, and it's not a surprise that it produces dystopian, evangelical idiocy like fatpeoplehate and god knows what else. I am so blunt because I think reddit in its current form risks doing genuine damage.
