I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

with a community as big as reddit, the only way to make yourself heard is to be among the top few comments on each thread.
It gets tiring writing 10 lengthy, well thought-out replies for 10 different threads, only for 9 of them to fall off the radar and get no responses. So you get people spamming low-effort puns in order to get noticed.
