The lesson there is that your writing is not fit for its audience. Whether you choose to blame the audience or adjust your writing is up to you. There's no real answer - sometimes the audience is morons and you are actually just wasting your time and other times you are being overly verbose and uninteresting. You are being given signal. Use it.

But realistically, I am not going to read every online comment carefully because the SNR is low, especially on Reddit. Make your case concisely and meaningfully.
