They're still memed, but I've had no issues with reliability even during years when they were supposedly having high failure rates (Barracuda .12, for instance).
The problem has often been a bad feedback loop where something goes wrong, Seagate fixes it, customers drag their heels on applying firmware updates, and everyone develops thin skin.
However, the reality is no hard drive manufacturer is immune: https://www.backblaze.c
Comparatively, Seagate often does better than Hitachi or Toshiba and trades blows with WD.
The reason issues seem more prevalent is in part because they just put out way more SKUs. It's about as fair of an assessment as saying a certain car brand has a higher fatality rate than any other brand, but excluding the fact that they also sold twice as many vehicles and thus have a greater sample size (not to be confused with Tesla, where all the fatalities are because they're POSes).
