It's worth noting that most of the top submissions are actually really good, whereas on Reddit none of the top submissions are even remotely good.

There was a time when reddit was very good. But then the noise came and it was game over.

I know it's the alarmist thing to say, but it's starting here.

While there have been flurries of "poor" content accruing a decent set of points in the past, I'm now starting to see a lot of downvoting occurring. Previously, downvotes were used on spam, offensiveness, or flat out "wrong" comments - whereas now it appears to be an indicator of opinion. This shift demonstrates how significant the "new wave" of HN users is.

I actually agree with you that it used to be next to impossible to be down-voted here, (unless you were a complete tool) and now it's a lot more frequent, as your comment ironically demonstrates.
