The only use I have for Reddit anymore is for super niche information. For example we were planning to go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom today but it’s going to rain this afternoon. I checked their site and it said they were open 11-6, my BIL checked their app and at 11:30 it said they were currently closed. Found a Reddit post from someone confirming the park was closed for the weekend, and we didn’t waste a trip up. (as an extra annoying aside, apparently this information was posted on Six Flag’s Instagram page, because expecting a huge company to maintain a website is I guess just too much when they can offload it to social media.)
Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

For me there’s still value in the niche communities like r/rimworld and the like, but for everything else I’m firmly on Lemmy now

The real value of reddit for me lies in its cache of information contained in answers to questions from over the years. Whenever I’m looking online for a solution to a problem I’m trying to solve I’ll eventually add “reddit” to the search and I almost always find the answer that way.
