In response to such critiques, Reddit spokesperson Rathschmidt said he did not “know of an industry benchmark for scoring content quality”.

(Emphasis mine)

This is the same tone deaf response I've come to expect from Reddit for some time now, and is why I'm happy to no longer be a user of their platform.

That same quote caught my eye. It's just bullshit. Of course they're no quantitative way to measure quality on a qualitative scale. Any long time user can see there's not much going on like there used to be.
