Something as simple as subsubreddits would solve this. I.e. a "funny" subfolder or something, like proper forums are organized in different sections. But Reddit want a eternal feed to show as much ads as possible. Low quality posts makes them money since you have to scroll by them and thus sees more ads.
I won't blame the company, is the community. I don't use reddist as much but as a Star Trek fan I see there are a lot of subeditors, one for each show, a generic one, one for the haters, ones from memes, a more technical one etc. Reddit the company won't care if you spend your 30 minutes free time on the no-jokes one or on that hates-everything one ... you just need a big enough community that would enjoy a more niche and strict subreddit.
What do you expect though?
To go on home page of Youtube or Reddit and find content exactly on your taste?
That is not reasonable, if I go on private mode on youtube homepage I am not surprised to find the most popular music that my countrymen are watching, stuff I dislike, so I bookmarked my youtube subscription page and subscribe to stuff I enjoy and use the search.
