It's more popular because the amount of absolute horseshit people are willing to wade through to get their fix of social media stuff is insane.

Reddit could replace half of the links with gruesome ISIS beheading videos and people would probably just keep scrolling. Only something like a third of all web users even have an ad blocker.

That would absolutely increase engagement.
