Other than my country's subreddit I can't think of anything reddit has contributed to my life, for the past two years.
I go there daily, but I almost never find anything interesting I haven't first seen elsewhere. It's a neat place to waste time, but even on small obscure subreddit, the content just isn't there anymore.
I guess you could say it changed a lot of lives, by becoming "the front page of the internet", but wasn't it negatively? I mean, the sense of community there used to be on sub-cultural forums and irc is lost on Reddit, and anything intelligent drowns in the vast ocean of mediocreness.

A very good example for me was /r/WritingPrompts because after I wrote a long comment somebody directed me to it and I managed to start writing again. /r/StopDrinking also helped me help my friend regain control of his life. /r/fitness helped me regain my health. Then there's /r/randomkindness, /r/bestof, /r/askreddit and /r/cscareerquestions.
- eksemplar 10y agoI do log in, follow my interests and I think the country subreddit thing is the only auto/standard one I still follow. The content and the people just aren't there for me. But I'm happy that it's working for you.
