I think there are a few factors, but the biggest one I see is it's now so popular that every large sub has become an echochamber, you cannot disagree with the echochamber.
But, at the same time I think this has always been a problem, even 10 years ago the 'Reddit Hivemind' was a thing people spoke about. It's just worse now (because there are even more people using it, more bots reposting the same clickbait, more conglomeration of a few moderators owning several large subs)
