I don't disagree, but I think this has been the case for a while now on reddit. I haven't noticed any drastic change in comment quality over the few years, and I've been using it almost daily since 2012. There are communities that moderate very heavily and don't allow the joke/sarcastic/low-effort comments (askhistorians, politicaldiscussion, etc).
