i never used Reddit much— always seemed like a boring place

here's why I believe that reddit has become a counter-signal for product reccos, with the caveat that I am not the average consumer and I am often looking for a "buy it once" type purchase.

* reddit and hall monitors
subreddits can be good places to find niche info. I sometimes use reddit as a jumping off point to explore a particular vertical or sub-category of product. the issue is that reddit communities attract a certain type of person and this has led to the overbearing "hall monitor" mod culture over there.

most of these users—though not all—are borderline obsessed with what they would call "value." if [product A] is $57 and [product B] is $62, that is an important factor for them. for some this comes down to budget which is totally legitimate, but I would argue that it's more philosophical.

many believe that it is great for niche hobbies but in many cases I disagree. the culture on there largely sucks.
