Reddit is not reality. Don't worry about what is said on reddit. You're a performer, so I'm going to assume you know the basics of reading a room and what it feels like to influence the mood of a crowd. I'm not saying "be charismatic and manipulate people" but most definitely get a feel for your face to face interactions and be proactive in trying to make sure that they are positive ones.
Most people are not performers and don't understand the power of projecting emotion or even empathy when they interact with others and I think reddit is a prime example. As for "things going bad" and "starting to stink", I think things have always stunk and have always been going bad and pushing against that is just part of the human thing.
