I'm 15 (gulp, I'll try my best to be as intelligent as possible), and I was driven away from Reddit because there was no new ideas or discussion. The reason the blame was placed on the younger users was because the original users of Reddit were older. Reddit got worse not because of the age of people, but because people were trying to appeal to the most common denominator of intelligence to the get the most upvotes, so posts and comments just got dumber and dumber. That's my take on it anyway, it may well be my generation.
