> Isn't the more parsimonious explanation that our culture is now composed of poor critical thinkers who are poorly educated, lack sophistication and nuance, and accordingly have terrible taste?

On first read this opinion just sounded like some misanthropic two-bit Nietzsche take

OTOH I've thought the same thing reading reddit comments, some people really are just fucking stupid and the only thing you can do about them is get away

The way I see it: the common culture can go fuck itself. Find your own people and ride off into the sunset
