Reddit has pretty much always been stupid people acting smart, you are just looking at the past with rose colored glasses.

Oh I don't deny there has always been an element of this.
I'm simply stating its becoming a majority vs a minority and very much so more apparent than it ever was a decade prior.

It has definitely gotten worse. When you find yourself looking at a thread from 11 or 12 years ago the discourse is distinctly different. People seemed to actually have conversations, and a sense of trying to preserve their reputation and build social cachet. Things shifted over time to be more like Facebook where low effort one liners, memes and pop culture references are the status quo.
