Problem with reddit is that everyone thinks they're a comedian and people just upvote the same repeated jokes over and over. You still have to wade though tons of garbage to find the good stuff, and thats after filtering tons of shit with RES. Reddit was great at one point but it got exhausting.

If you nested the comments by time and layer instead of votes and layer it would reduce the amount of attention seeking behavior.

You can collapse whole comment trees, though, which cuts down scrolling time.

On old.reddit, it's the [-] button and on new reddit it's done by pressing the vertical lines on the left of the comments. I don't know about mobile.

r/science was great in this regard. They moderated the threads to weed out the exhaustion.

I wonder if something that combines reddit and slashdot could work well. Instead of simply up voting things, you do "+1 funny" or something.
