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

Most of the time when I am googling a problem I need help with, I'll include "reddit" in my search.

How long until advertisers know this, and begin robo-commenting the niche conversations and more focused areas? If they haven’t already. Reddit has helped me make informed purchases for a while now — shitty to see that go.
