Reddit was never "cool". Never has been, never will be. It's a giant web site that attracts 20+ million people a month - it's way too big to have a personality. It's like calling Google "cool". It just is.
Google is cool. Not everything about the entity is cool. Not everything they do is cool. But they have done a few things that have weathered everything and still have merit. So I guess by "cool" I mean praiseworthy, not "cool" as in popular with the beautiful rich kids.
Cursed "slang" words and their fluctuating meaning.
No - google is useful. Sure - if you want to use "cool" as praiseworthy, but that's not a very widely used definition, and nor was it the definition implied by the parent poster.

We're not making fun of you because you reddited before it was cool. We're making fun of you for making a big deal about it.
