Exactly. It’s so broad that nobody quite sees what they like. But if you establish a bunch of categories, give new users a roadmap, and say that Funny is only for things that don’t fit elsewhere, then everybody gets a better signal-to-noise ratio.

I like a diversity of jokes and see all sorts of things I like. Apparently so to do others based on the traffic and lack of unsubscriptions.

Not quite a fair assumption to make. I subscribe because there is no alternative. Popularity is simply not a good measure of whether something works. Plenty of people subscribe to Politics, too, but it’s openly accepted that the subreddit is dysfunctional.
