Calling one of the most successful sites on the Internet a "missed opportunity" is a bit odd. Whether you want junk or you want quality, it's there (dig into the subreddits).
In my experience, the problem with subreddits is that they are either too well trafficked, in which case it eventually devolves back into puns and memes, or it's way too sparse and there's no content.

I wish there was a better way to discover subreddits I might like.
If Reddit did to subreddits what Pandora and Netflix did to music and movies (analyze and recommend,) it would pay off for them.
Hmmm...I subscribe to a number of travel and backpacker subs and am constantly pleased by the content.

You get subreddit suggestions ("people also added:") when creating multireddits.
