r/Piracy on Reddit is more of a meme subreddit. I've never seen any actual discussion or valuable information as I do on this community. Why is that?

Not wrong, but did we seriously travel back to late 2000's 4chan? There's far more apt ways to communicate the concept that communities tend to degenerate to fit the lowest common denominator of their users, and that will only shift lower as the userbase grows. Any community will be better quality when the majority of its userbase consists of people deeply invested in the topic.

I've found that talking like a reasonable adult rather than relying on NEET/internet denizen slang as shorthand tends to help "hot takes" like this be taken more seriously. It also gives more for others to respond to, in regards to adding anything useful to a conversation/comment chain.
