I'd say "-site:reddit.com" helps a lot. And also "-site:youtube.com" and some others :)
Admittedly, I usually do the exclusion in my brain and not actually via the search query.
I don't know where the hype comes from, which says that reddit posts are particularly smart and useful. Maybe just from their own marketing, which is repeated over and over in social media by these 'smart' guys?! It's completely not reflected by my practical experiences at all.
When I accidentally end on a reddit thread and read some posts, I'm always like "Well, and that's it? What a waste of time..."

I do site:reddit.com queries when I'm looking for product (and software) recommendations because otherwise you just find affiliate spammers (like cnet, wired, nyt and forbes).
- pino82 2y agoOkay, for that particular purpose, I can well imagine that you are actually right. I usually don't even try that, and when I do, it's exactly as you say.
- mejutoco 2y agoMaybe this was true in the past, but there are plenty of bots in reddit these days, and astroturfing/promotional content, etc.
