The pattern that I run into a lot is that I'll find a reddit post which reproduces useful information found on a personal blog/website, but I would've had no prayer finding that blog in the first place thanks to SEO spam. Reddit's UI is not very good, which is why I don't spend my day surfing Reddit, but that's completely besides the point. The problem people are trying to solve is discoverability and trustworthiness: I no longer trust google's search results, and while I know that astroturfing happens on reddit, I trust the stated opinions of nerds with 100,000s of posts about niche hobbyist topics a lot more than the pages of SEO-optimized garbage that google spits out.
