Reddit is better and better as a source of obscure information (like a more complete and less restricted Stack Overflow), but the only way to use it effectively is by external search. Reddit is worse and worse as a community or a place to find things organically, for all the reasons everyone lists, and I, too, find myself going there less and less, when it used to be a default destination for idle moments.
