While the frontpage and default subs are drastically down in quality the smaller more specialized subs are still valuable to me. /r/writing /r/math /r/boardgames /r/Debate<topic> and programming subs are still valuable. Honestly, I think Reddit is ripe for disruption. There are some good ideas there but I think it is struggling under some initial assumptions that worked when there were fewer people with fewer interests and agendas that just don't work but would be hard to change at this stage. And while there is a bit of a network effect in value, unlike something like facebook where there is a lot of value in the 'archive' aspects of it, Reddit is a very 'here and now' phenomena that could be replaced without too much pain assuming people decide they like some other system better. And it might be a Craigslist kind of thing where specialized sites that better cater to the different areas can chip away audience from Reddit.
