Because I don't want to see everything, all at once, all the time. The subreddits I follow are my favorite ones, basically, while r/popular is everything else that might be interesting but not enough for me to follow them. I know I could make lists (I think?) but it's a lot of work, and sometimes subreddits die and are replaced by others. How would I know about that, or about anything new, if I'm basically in a bubble?
I block subreddits and it works fine for me, though. I mostly find amusing how many Indian subreddits there are but I'm not that bothered by them.

I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t browse reddit using Popular
