I personally generally consider the reddit platform incompetent for surfacing that wheat by default, and incidentally view the site as a whole somewhat dimly as a result. I want to enjoy the internet and/or get at info I might need. Some seem to enjoy being a pawn in what amounts to a poorly-thought-through "crowdsourced wheat-surfacing" architecture; I find it draining.
