Reddit users have been begging reddit to make this change for years -- recognizing that meme/pic upvotes are each less value than other (larger) content upvotes, since pics are easier to skim without leaving the stream.
Facebook is overtaking reddit in the Quality algorithm department.
- slig 13y agoIt's build in already. Just unsubscribe from shitty subreddits and subscribe to quality ones. The mods from quality subreddits are pretty fierce on enforcing rules against memes/low quality comments/etc.
- schackbrian 13y agoWhat are the highest quality sub-reddits that don't allow memes?
- slig 13y ago/r/askscience/ and /r/AskHistorians/, for instance.

- mccr8 13y agoPlenty of individual subreddits ban memes and pics for precisely this reason, because there is a broad recognition that they will tend to swamp more in-depth content. The nice thing about Reddit is that if you want some low-brow content, you can get that, too: users can easily customize what they see by selecting different subreddits, relative to Facebook.
