> not by typing reddit.com/r/binoculars That's exactly what I did. Most of those subs have either a pinned guide or a wiki with recommendations and considerations. And often I do use search, because it's fine for simple things like searching for model numbers. > If I am, doesn't that completely break down the moment a decent chunk of communities decides it must not be on reddit? That's the point of it being a network effect, right? Like, when people collectively start using Facebook in stead of Myspace, so Myspace died? > Am I right in this assumption? No, I don't exclusively use Google to search Reddit and when I do, I explicitly mention site:reddit.com. > And you would find that information the same way as you would on reddit if I'm not mistaken. So, no, you are mistaken. Because I didn't even know those forums existed and they don't seem to show up on Google often. Recently, I was looking for a monitor for example. Say I'd want to know more about the 'G95SC' entering 'G95SC review' in Google shows mostly review sites like CNET. I want to see regular people's opinions so I look on Reddit and see those. And I can do the same thing for 3D printers, cars, brake pads, track tires, laptops, android car stereos and pretty much anything else. In stead of having to find the relevant forums.
