I disagree. Perhaps not specifically these subs but the sentiment certainly involuntarily spreads opposition and one main purpose of subs like these is to have something to feel superior about. There are many like that, maybe these aren't the worst offenders.
I enjoy some of those myself from time to time, but it is what it is and has nothing to do with education and is more focused on self gratification. Just enjoy the pleasures in moderation.

Every single time I stumbled upon a post from /r/HermanCainAward in /r/popular, the theme has always been the same. It's pretty much a one-trick subreddit.
