I deleted reddit account week ago. It's just time sink without any value:

- It's true that some hobby specific subreddits have wealth of information. But it's just occasional view of such subreddit and "sort by top". New posts are 99% attention seeking posts without value, even on good subreddits

- Besides the above, 99% of reddit is political virtue signalling, memes, karma farming

View on HN

HN is like a subreddit anyway. There are subreddits that good enough and worth it , but many of the mainstream ones are destroyed by politics. The remaining ones are still one of the best places on the net though

> time sink without any value

Indeed, time is little and precious and should be spent wisely. Very virtuous of you.

> hobby specific subreddits have wealth of information

Ah the virtue of doing hobbies

> New posts are 99% attention seeking posts without value

Only the most virtuous of us completely avoid the trap of attention seeking, well done.

> political virtue signalling

Ah the biggest virtue of all, avoiding virtue-signalling. You've really tapped into the big one here, well done and thank you for letting us know that you're not some filthy virtue-signaller.

Some of your points might have merit, but your tone is very off putting.

It's useful to ask specific questions that google doesn't know. People still collectively know more than Google, and are easier queryable)
