#4Many good subreddits. r/FIRE and if you're in the UK: r/UKPersonalFinance and r/FIREUK. There is likely similar for US and other countries but I'm less familiar with those.

UKPF is more like SO for finance than HN - occasional interesting stuff, fair amount of arcane situations you're not interested in, and a lot of broadly identical basic questions time and time again. But without flags/marking duplicate/voting to close.

#8Value Investor Club is not what it once was in part due to the decimation of value investing over the last decade along with a general decline in norms of professional conduct but it’s still the best resource. Membership is limited but you can read older stuff at a lag and it’s a great educational resource for new investors.

Nice! Thank you.
curating the right follows on Twitter (FinTwit) is the closest thing you will find. You could follow people like @CliffordAsness (a well known and outspoken quant) and just choose some of his follows. The toughest part is disentangling the good accounts from the promoters. valueinvestorsclub.com is great. If you get Bloomberg, there are industry/interest specific anonymous chats that are useful as well.

If you want to see the decimation of value investing styles in one picture its this: https://twitter.com/Greenbackd/status/1623010694928138240?s=...
Value spreads are at an all time wide (measure by a valuation ratio eg P/E or EV/EBIT of expensive vs. cheap parts of a wide group of stocks), and to get to that point value strategies have had to underperform for a long time.
If you believe in mean reversion you would believe that value strategies are going to outperform and the quality of writeup on Value Investors Club will improve as well.
