Beware of the Murray Gell-Mann amnesia effect. Based on my experience with the subjects I know intimately my experience is that Reddit advice is roughly equivalent to asking a teenager to Google something for you. I fully agree that any sub that's core content involves shitting on people has terrible inhabitants and all the quality of commentary that follows from that. Some of the more lighthearted ones are a little better (e.g. holdmybeer vs idiotsincars) when the content is conducive to such but only in the sense that someone with a crippling mental illness might have a good-ish day here and there.
