The main problem with Reddit is the users dishonesty to themselves.
Ask a reddit user why they like reddit they'll probably mumble something about AMAs.
Then visit /r/all and a completely different picture will be painted for you as the sites most popular content is a mixture of pornography, racist jokes passed off as being subversive and political ranting.
It is always amazing how consistently people will lie about what reddit is "full of" when anyone can just look at the site and see they are lying. Reddit is overflowing with BLM and islamic terrorist apologists, and we're supposed to believe reddit is all nazi KKK grand wizards.

This is just false. I have no idea where you are getting this idea from or why you are stating such clearly inaccurate claims, but they are false. Take a look at the history of /r/all and find me a single day when what you are claiming is even remotely true: https://web.archive.org/web/*/reddit.com/r/all. Yes, there is plenty of the content you describe on Reddit if you go looking for it, but it is absolutely not the "site's most popular content."
Porn is very consistently within the top 25/50 (first 1 or 2 pages) of /r/all at certain times of day. It doesn't dominate it, but it is just sIt only shows up if you're logged in though since it's marked nsfw. It's pretty embarrassing and, frankly, gross. I used to use RES to filter out every porn sub I knew of and that was more pleasant.
It's almost like the website is designed to let you filter out crap you don't want/care to look at. If we assume the site's self-professed label of "front-page of the internet" is correct, it shouldn't be surprising that the total of its content reflects the content of the internet as a whole.
Hate to break it to you, but porn is pretty popular on the internet at large, not just on reddit. Racist people exist, and will flock to any platform where they can freely express their shitty ideas.
Pardon the hyperbole, but your prejudice towards all users of reddit is like to claiming that all people who use the internet are closet porn addicts and KKK members.
Generalizations don't help anyone, and they make you look just as closed-minded as the racists you dislike so much.
