I don't see any of that crap you are talking about on my feed. I am subscribed to tech, news, soccer, some linux subreddits, a few game subreddits like Dyson Sphere Program, Diablo and finally programmer memes. I browse "home", ignore "all" or "popular". It's a really nice tool that is being destroyed by incompetence.

That's a smart strategy. If you allow your feed to have things from whitepeopletwitter, blackpeopletwitter, politics, news, damnthatsinteresting (and other similar things), then you get a really awful experience. Every bit as bad as some people claim.

But if you filter all those out and go for smaller, targeted subreddits in your interest area, you might as well be on an entirely different site, it isn't the same at all.
