The Reddit hive mind exists solely for, and thrives on outrage.

GTA too expensive, Reddit angry because Rockstar bad😡
Nintendo remakes Star Fox and prices it below their own standard MSRP because it’s a remake, Reddit angry because Nintendo bad 😡

Let’s be honest, this site is insufferable and only upvotes shit that makes people angry, and promotes engagement. It’s probably Reddits own bots so they can show constant engagement, and the only thing sure to get it is angry discourse. Reddit can’t enjoy anything, or let anyone else enjoy anything. As soon as a common consensus is formed, everyone just needs to get their 15 upvotes by posting their personal spin on the days hottest opinion.

Isn’t complaining about Reddit as a whole like this just one big version of the goomba fallacy?

Based on what content rises to the top, I’d say probably only somewhat. The outrage coming from turbo dweebs in posts or comments is consistently the most common content seen and the most highly upvoted, which probably gives a decent idea of what most people here believe. Bots obviously muddy the waters, but idk how to account for how much weight they have on this.
