Although low standards of effort cause low-quality content to dominate, I believe that's only because low effort standards cause more content, and that means more low-quality content than high-quality content.
Here, I'm defining effort as how much it costs the content creator, and quality as how much it is appreciated by the community. At least personally, I'm more likely to question whether or not I should hit the button and actually post something if I believe the community has high effort standards, thus, as a whole, content is reduced in response to high effort standards. However, I don't actually know if my content will be well-received or not as I'm posting it, since, disregarding malicious intent, I wouldn't post something if the community wouldn't receive it well.
Like you can force old reddit without being logged in using old.reddit.com, you can force new reddit while being logged in and having new reddit turned off by going to new.reddit.com. I think a couple more seconds of exploration should be enough to convince you how bad it is, though.
