yes, you can say reddit is what you make it. I no longer subscribe to frontpage and replaced extremely mainstream subreddits such as /r/pics with more fresh and entertaining like r/RedditThroughHistory and so on, and the experience is much more pleasant. yet, the decline of average submission and comment quality is noticable even in smarter subreddits such as r/TrueReddit. the digg migration put reddit in eternal september, first it was easily noticable only in /new (oh boy, going down there is only for hardcore users) and comments, now it's spread all over the site.
I've been a big fan of reddit for years, but nowadays, the only reason I don't get out is that if I happen to step by without my account I'd meet the general frontpage and that could be depressing.
