The SNR on HN is great. For one, most people here still know what SNR means. I still like reddit but at some point in the last several years teenagers became the primary demographic. Anyone remember when it was mostly programmers?
The first sign of trouble I've seen for every social site in the last 10 years has been when that site's users start saying, "At least we're better than ________."

I agree with both of you. I only visit a few subreddits, though, so it's not really a problem for me.
Metafilter is also a place with a very high SNR for me but not for technology-oriented stuff.
Yes, I remember that.
And, of course, Reddit's promotion algorithm is anti-content.
