"If certain posts become popular its because people want to read them." Why is reddit's content consistently horrible to the yc community? YC is not serving all

"If certain posts become popular its because people want to read them." Why is reddit's content consistently horrible to the yc community? YC is not serving all people's needs in content - its serving a particular sector of users that expect knowledge/motivation from their content-browsing rather than humor/time-wasting. Ycnews is figuring how much they should control because the fact is that if you don't have controls, the content and user base becomes like reddit. Also, the extreme degree of control that you suggest is so ridiculous that you're doing nothing but insulting a lot of hard work that people have done to find a good balance between being super-exclusive and open to everyone.
