Possibly like most discussions the loudest few totally control the conversation.

  Theyve got voting guns. If you see a thread on e.g. /r/programminghumor with a lazy, unfunny meme starring $BRAND it will usually have an oddly high number of votes relative to comments. The votes look rigged in the comments in those threads too. Point out the corporate shilling or mention /r/hailcorporate and you'll wind up with -5 votes and some aggressive comments telling you to lighten up or that you're wrong or both.

    Are there any large subreddits (>1 million) that aren't a joke?

        Tangent: As an anthropologist by training these people infuriate me by not letting the peanut gallery chip in on a related thread. They might have every living source on a subject in the same room and they'd never know it.
