I feel like we all need to stop using 'Did you read that on the internet?', in such a derogatory way. The internet contains just about all writing at this point. It contains academic journals, books, and intelligent discussions by professionals, often on Reddit.
Snarky comments about Reddit also apply - the space contains both good and bad, so labelling something as 'from Reddit' really doesn't damn anything.
The same applies to Wikipedia. I've seen mistakes in my own field of expertise, but when the only real error found lies with some obscure Philosophical theory, this speaks rather well of the platform.
