It's been a wonder that site ever got traction as something credible to get info from and not just a weird mesh of editorial, blogging, and long winded shitposts...

edit: That being said, fuck reddit.

For me, it was often a place where a lot of qualified people would essentially write blogs because hosting their own site for it would get utterly ignored by google. The last few years though I've got more utter morons than people who can write a good article, even for generic questions that they could straight up copy and paste from another site.
