For me, it's the fact that while I dont always see eye to eye with the people here the fact is every account is almost certainly an actual person and not a bot. I want to hear other's experiences and perspectives and Reddit will not provide that.

I also like the fact that there is an end to the content here. It's not endless scrolling.

This is the thing I notice the most whenever I check back into reddit. So much bot & ai bullshit.

I also agree with u/Xylight@lemdro.id that several of the subs I subscribed to have no equivalent here yet.

That’s true there are no replacements for many subs and you just have to ask yourself how much you need them.

Yep. Its definitely a nice to have, not a need to have.
