yeah, commenting "reddit bad" is no less of a faux-pas than linking directly to reddit, especially for something so random that doesn't satisfy any specific intellectual curiosity except by linking to other, much better articles instead it's just redditors vying for upvotes, talking about old news, making the same dozen tired jokes and references they hijack top comment in _every single thread_ to make, possibly with some humorous anecdotes and genuinely useful links mixed in. This is not necessarily what I come to HN to read. The mental strain of separating the wheat from the chaff on reddit is too great so I come here to skip that part. Despite this, I feel that addressing it is mostly nonproductive, and who am I to talk, but all the same, you brought it up so there's my 2 cents - I agree with you.
