Reddit, Digg, YouTube, and FaceBook have a standard of comments so low that Slashdot looks like the Encyclopedia Brittanica in contrast.
Reddit is huge, and at least the sections I frequent, have very high standards in posts and replies. I mostly frequent/r/askscience/ and/r/science/ My experience is phenomenal, especially after being "trained" by the awful Slashdot editors. The replies on Slashdot are, of course, great and the only good thing about the site, but the reddit sections I most follow have a higher average quality.
You have to log in to remove some of the default groups that seem to bring Reddit's quality down, such as the insufferable/atheism or other trendy ones. If you can setup your filters correctly it's not a bad site.

Perhaps we can get CmdrTaco into a forum with more standards, or just do the chat in cryptocat and post the result here.

So OP statement stand true. Majority of reddit and especially ask/ama are below average quality.
