It is still unfortunately the go-to landing spot for basically any “I’m having an obscure tech issue and only one person posted about this specific error code six years ago” type of search.

Everybody in here that’s saying “don’t use Reddit” is either posing, or never has to troubleshoot or research anything.

they’re the type that uses reddit the same way they’d use instagram or 9gag so it doesnt have any particularly unique value to them

I use both redlib and piefed on a daily basis.
I haven’t logged in to reddit for years, but there’s loads more content there for niche topics.

Porque no los dos? Of course don’t feed reddit with content for them to sell, or aimlessly browse the frontpage. If you need information on a niche subject, or refer to something that happened in 2011, don’t burden yourself to avoid reddit. Just set yourself to be in read only mode with ad blockers to the max so you get more from them then they get from you.
