Varied. The default subreddits are almost invariably trash (as are basially al the political subreddits of any orientation), but I personally find it very usable and readable (compared to a site like Tumblr which i still have no goddamn idea how to use) and stick to the subs that I like. However, even the average Reddit discussion, awful as it is, is still superior to pretty much any news comments section. Voted FS on balance.

The comments in this topic (which is currently the top topic on all of reddit) are an example of why I think the place is a right-wing cesspool.

r/videos is famous for being a cesspool,  yes. But what you would see in news comments is even worse.

Yeah, it's pretty shocking how right-wing news and videos are. From what I've read they are regularly brigaded by white nationalist sites, though obviously that doesn't explain all of it.

I was actually referring to news websites' comment sections (Politico and Yahoo News being among the worst offenders), but r/news is obviously also trash. The only default sub worth a damn is the one with cute puppies and kittens.
