View submission: Why are you still on Reddit?

View parent comment

That was my exact analogy.

Reddit gets me towards that. In the old days, if I wanted help in fixing one of my pinball machines, I could head to rec/pinball and know that I had found the experts.

I'm going to be putting in a new stereo in my truck, and I'm going to be asking some questions in r/carav because it has the right vibe.

When the internet went hugely commercial all of the useful stuff got drowned out by all the marketing stuff. That perhaps has gotten a little better - google regularly recommends reddit posts - but I still trust very little unless I know the site.
