This is the only way to find a lot of information especially if you need to cut through salesy search results. Reddit can have such bad info but it's simply the largest human curated knowledge source. It will beat fucking blogs that show up on Google
I also use it for computer issues and certain kinds of medical information, where the results are like 10 pages of blogs saying the same exact surface level bullshit like "we're not going to tell you a fucking thing, not a goddamn thing other than did you know doctors exist?"
The bleeding edge of SEO is getting those astroturfed responses into reddit/instagram/facebook/youtube comment threads. They haven't succeeded yet, but they can smell the marketing potential like the sharks they are.
There only thing Reddit is good for is random tech/home questions.. module because it’s so SEO’d that nothing can compete.
me googling things and having to add reddit to the search string, not because reddit is good but because google sucks so bad
I’ve tried Duck Duck etc and found it even more unusable

It's also astroturfed to hell.
Half the front page is just "can somebody explain this incredibly simple joke to me" because it drives engagement.
I've seen people ask to explain a joke that has Ben garrison levels of labels on it, and the explanation was "read the labels"

That's what I use it for too
