For me it's because most good subreddits are focused on a single issue and not using the home feed let's you avoid all the "hot political issues of the day" where everything has been said millions of times. I don't need another 1000 comments of the same old 5 tired talking points I also like not being insulted and topic specific subs allow strict moderation and the banning of unpleasant people.
