This is by design. All reddit wants is engagement, they don't care about discussions, quality, etc as long as people are scrolling away on their app (emphasis on their app, considering what they did to 3rd party apps). They're obviously going to say "look at how big the number got on this post! You should be super proud of yourself!" They want people to feel that slight dopamine hit so they can chase the next hit by creating even more inane content to keep even more people on the app to maximize the amount of eyeballs looking at ads. Everything they do is about the IPO.
