Have you seen how it is lately? It's a glorified tabloid. It's largely used for pop culture gossip. People know it's slop, and they don't care. They use it anyways.
Reddit is far from the days of being a modernized tech BBS. At least 10 years removed from it. In it's current incarnation it's an interactive daily newspaper with Bat Boy stories on the front cover. That's what they're selling. And it does sell.
