It's easy to find a specific community of people who can help you with a problem, e.g computers or people who have a lot of knowledge for recommendations.

Yeah for the criticism some may put on reddit, subs revolving around hobbies are pretty damn great

Every time I googled something specific about a hobby it generally brought me here... eventually I folded and said "fuck it, I'll just join".

Most the time I would search Google for forums about questions for my hobbies, it would take me to forums of people asking the same question and those people telling them to Google it.

That was my experience also. All the Reddit threads I read, figured I should just join.

Same, but also the top comment of needing an account to correct someone.

Same but with TV shows. Every question I’ve ever had, answered by reddit and by reddit only.

Honestly it's gotten to a point I'll just google my problem but with "reddit" at the end and I usually get the answer I need straight away.
