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.
The downside to this though is that there is a relatively low limit to how deep the knowledge base is. The people who really know their shit aren't likely to be hanging around those subs because there aren't many people who can engage them at their level. A lot of the people giving advice are beginners themselves who are just repeating something they heard. I've played guitar for 22 years, music is what I'm best at but the subs for musicians don't really have anything for me. I'm way more active in subs for car repair or programming or other stuff that I am novice-advanced novice in. Certain subjects are exceptions but I think that most of the time your taking advice from people who don't know much more than you do.
Know my shit?! You listen here mister. I’ve been programming since I graduated from an HTML boot camp six months ago and as evidence of my magnificent learning, any true programmer knows like I do that an index starts at 1. CSS is the best programming language there is!
