I disagree that the community is middle class (at least now). I often write about common middle class tropes that seemingly go down like a lead balloon as if they had never heard of them, and more importantly there is often a distain for middle class people in favour of working class people on Reddit in political discussions.
Outside the US the subreddits seem to be much older as well, not sure about the situation in the US itself.
That's because the middle class itself has been disappearing post-2008. You need much more money these days to feel you're not rich, but money isn't a major concern either.
Perhaps that's a longer topic not really relevant here.
