Remove yourself from the larger, overly "gamed" subreddits. This doesn't remove 100% of the problem, but it becomes a breath of fresh air.

How do you guys find quality subredduts?

Fully depends on what your personal interests are, and you'll have to put in a little effort. Just look for topics you enjoy in the searchbar and the top few suggestions will be subreddits. Check out if any seem interesting.

Also, in subreddits you already like, check their sidebar as most mods will link to related subreddits. I know this is more hidden nowadays when most people use mobile and never see the sidebar.

Yep. Anytime you're in a sub that shows 100,000 members, it's probably turning to shit. Consider leaving or moving to offshoot subs.
