He's not complaining about the content, he's complaining about the location.
We have a sub specifically for news about Reddit called /v/Meanwhileonreddit . It makes no sense to post news about Reddit outside of that area and doing so leads to a saturation of mediocre content across multiple verses. People who want to hear news about Reddit will subscribe to that verse and people who don't will not. But that system falls apart if we start posting Reddit news in other verses. It's one of the main problems with Reddit. People aren't concerned with posting in the most relevant sub, they post where the people are, and that's not how it's supposed to work.

Interestingly, the same problem happens on smaller imageboards. Everyone posts on /b/ because the other boards are too slow because everyone posts on /b/.
