Even if you took away all controversy and politics, I hate Reddit. The search function sucks. They shoved their own harebrained video player down everyone’s throats and it constantly plays by itself without opening. And when you do open it it doesn’t fucking play half the time. They also foisted their eye-bleeding updated user interface upon our innocent souls and forever corrupted us. It can only be described as Fischer price from hell. And also the idea of Reddit sucks on a structural level. There are tons of subs that are cool but too narrow to gain a large following. They can’t fill in the template subreddit community. You see overly specific subreddits like “praise the camera man” or “public freak outs” or “woah dude” and they invariably all cycle through the same videos and pictures, the ones getting the most traction, violating the whole premise of having specific communities. It should have been something like you can tag a post “woah dude” or “videos that end too soon” and just submit it to the universal page. People could still track tags of interest and do everything without the whole mess and insanity of subreddits and also without assholes turning subreddits into little fiefdoms.
