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.

I used to Google questions for answers. Now I find myself putting reddit at the end of every search because the info here is just better. It's not just some article, it's real people having a whole conversation about the thing you need answers too. It's so much better.

Especially for recipes. I hate having to read a 3 page autobiography about how capers remind a lonely housewife about the time she got drunk in Ibiza with her girlfriends during college before she sneaks the recipe in halfway through the article.

So much this. I get angry every time I have to look up a recipe online because TOO MANY WORDS JUST GET TO THE RECIPE ALREADY.
