I'd have to say I was more of a lurker on reddit. What I noticed was, what seemed like every comment, was made just to get votes. Like everyone was trying to think of the most clever thing they could say quickly to get votes.

Yeah, even when I occasionally tried to comment, I realized I was just trying to get upvotes by saying something funny/witty. It doesn't really foster a great deal of genuine discussion unless the subreddit itself is really dedicated to that cause.

That does seem to be the biggest problem. It's not necessarily about saying something informative and valuable as it is about being a karma grab.
