That is in part because the reddit algorithm doesn't like thoughtful contributions. These take time and understanding of the discussed matter. When your metric is positive (upvote) interaction per timeframe you need easily digestable content that people immediately react to. If I have to carefully read and think about the content my vote/comment is far too late to be "hot" on reddit.

Yeah that's basically it. Bots had overtaken Reddit too and just propagated that problem by re-posting posts/top comments.
