Hacker News Reader

I don‘t remember most of the things I‘ve read on reddit but I definitely remember the games, books, music and shows I discovered through reddit. Or that it helped me to keep up to date when covid appeared. Or how I kept up with the developments in the Ukraine last year. While lots of reddit browsing is time wasting, it also enabled a lot of discovery for me that I didn‘t get elsewhere so far.

I agree 100%. I've learned many useful things that are hard to learn elsewhere, like personal finance and cooking.

Sure, I can look up recipes pretty much anywhere on the internet, but the community for cooking tips has been awesome. (Simple example: "you should add nutmeg to make alfredo sauce taste better")

And you could not have found out about these things any other way than through Reddit?
