By contrast, Reddit is the exact opposite... Most subreddits that I read get several posts each day that could be answered in a heartbeat just by searching existing discussions or looking at the first result in Google. But most mods, in an (understandable) effort to be newbie-friendly, accept this as the cost of running a subreddit. As a result, most subreddits on some technical topic, are mainly populated by and useful to newbies. It would be nice if there was some place on the Internet that tried to strike a middle ground.
