i politely disagree. as another commenter pointed out it depends on the size and overall subreddit visibility. you can find visible and recognized posters just like you would any online forum in smaller subreddits centered around a thing like writing, programming, music. check out r/zen for example where there is absolutely an infamous user: ewk and quite a few other regs who engage him in healthy (and perhaps.. toxic, depending on your worldview) discussion(s).

Forums are a way better method of discussion and storing useful information. I still find information on my cars from forum posts 15 years ago. They're usually a smaller community without the big overseer admins of sites like reddit and shitbook, waiting to nuke your entire forum for something they (or now their Ai) view as a transgression. Some of my best friends I met on car forums when I was in college, and our board is still going strong. I will agree youtube is super useful though.
