Reddit is as shitty as you make it. Just stay away from the defaults and go to subreddits for stuff you're interested in.
That's one way to do it, but even just googling anything and adding the "reddit" keyword usually works for me nowadays.
To be fair reddit is a shithole anyway. Why can't the kid poke fun at SJW's?
Reddit's always just been 4chan with usernames and a somehow even shittier layout to me. AMAs are kinda cool and informative about various stuffs though even if celebs are obviously just using them as a vehicle to promote their newest thing 9 times out of 10.
Calling reddit trash is like calling the Internet trash. Most of everything is terrible, you just have learn how to filter out the bullshit.
And the "shitty" layout allows me to stumble upon a thread with thousands of posts and still find useful information right on top. It works. Mostly.
It's not the best place to make friends(?), you don't really get to know people and decide if you trust their opinion on certain topics, but at least you don't have to deal with obnoxious forum personas.
You know who you are!
