Reddit has additionally deteriorated because it's pushing more and more algorithmic content surfacing. The home page there is now closer to a facebook feed than the old default 'Hot' sorting. You also get pushed random subs and posts at the bottom of pages. Comments are also buried or surfaced depending on some algorithm not directly tied to upvotes.
Plus a ton of the users are now coming from mobile and are "app first".
