Reddit is a great source of people's discussions and quality posts on various topics. When I tried to find people's pain points to automate collecting problems to solve(and now it's an advanced Reddit search tool[1]), I found out that niche forums are great places to collect them. However, it's difficult to find more of them, plus scraping the data is time-consuming(custom parser for a new forum). And, the most important thing, there are not so many discussions that one may find on Reddit.
What I like about the website, it's you can find a huge amount of subreddits, every one of them dedicated to a niche topic that people there are willing to discuss. They share opinions, actively engage in discussions, and help in moderating good content. Is there any other place like this?
There are many situations when one still be preferring Google, but as for niche discussions I don't see any other good place to visit. Maybe it was Quora before, but now it's a spam place.
Reddit is incresibly heavy on censorship. It is only a great source of topics if they happen to align with a very specific worldview. I recommend to have zero trust in Reddit when it comes to politics, history, health, and even philosophy.
