Reddit is truly amazing, such that I've mostly replaced my usage of hackernews with it. I have serious issues with anxiety, and the inability for me to filter out content related to "current news" aka "clickbait fear mongering" means when I surf hackernews for too long I'll be upset for hours afterwards as I'm riled up with current events rewritten as FUD. Reddit can be filtered by subreddit, so I've got a view with…
UK folk should head to https://www.reddit.com/r/UKPersonalFinance/ I've always been interested in personal finance, but this community has helped me learn new things and everyone is very supportive.

I think a much bigger point can be summarized with this sentence from the article: > Seven of the top ten results are trying to sell you something, which really makes you question the objectivity of the advice. This is true when searching for pretty much everything in Google nowadays, that's why if you're looking for any info, searching on reddit usually yields much more objective and generally better results.
I just finished listening to an engaging series of podcasts by Michael Lewis (author of Flash Boys, The Big Short etc.) about the loss of referees in our society. It's called Against the Rules: https://atrpodcast.com/ Much of reddit still has functioning referees in the form of its moderators, but I'm seeing signs of it cracking — e.g. when I researched the backgrounds of certain moderators I found out that they prod…

Another great source I’ve enjoyed using is https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/index.php . This of course presupposes choosing that particular investment strategy, but the opportunity to ask anonymous, detailed financial questions and get thoughtful responses and ideas is great!

I have actually read that some country specific subreddits that are moderated by people who are not from the respective country.
I've tried to combat this but it seems very difficult. The thing that works best is to really hide the status and let people make their own ways of standing out.
