I don't think so. I've been a Reddit user for 12+ years or so. Obviously when you make the platform easy to use for anyone, you also invite more casual users who just want to meme.

Reddit doesn't even make any attempt to control quality since user engagement numbers matter more than quality.

Reminds me of Quora which over optimized the site for engagement growth but eventually became completely useless for this reason.
