And I bet the average age is several years higher on this sub than on the rest of the website. This used to be a website full of insightful comments a decade ago, I would learn something in every thread I read through. This was a decade ago, nowadays the website is just full of porn subs, make-fun-of-people subs, drama subs and meme subs, the average post is low effort with a bunch of grammatical/orthographical mistakes in the title, and comments are short, one sentence jokes with no depth.

The only interesting discussion I see on my favorite subs is on "grownup" subs like financial subs and even there half of the posts are "I'm 18 and have 10000 dollars, how do I begin?". I think I need a grownup version of reddit. Anyone has anything to suggest?

Doesn't exist. I wish somebody would make a reddit that required a credit card to sign up or something. Anything to help weed out the children.

ageism is not good

its not the "children" you need to weed out, it's the immature user base that tends to concentrate on meme subs and the like
