The ideal is people doing it just because they can, but how many people have the financial means for that? I'd say another reason for Reddit going to shit is all the people wanting to express themselves somehow, but only having a little bit of time to type something out on their phones and not enough to put thought or research into what they are saying. Streamers, youtubers etc. put a lot of work and practice into making something someone might consider good, and a lot of that is only possible because they get paid and so don't have to get another full time job that removes any time for creative pursuits.
