A lot of /r/Ask* subreddits are heavily moderated and very good for in-depth knowledgeable replies. I have collected over 175 books to read just browsing /r/AskHistorians, /r/AskEconomics, /r/AskSocialScience, /r/AskScience, /r/AskScienceDiscussion, /r/IRStudies, /r/AskEngineers, /r/AskPhysics.

Also great places to be active in, asking questions to experts or people that know more in these fields, I feel like this is one of the great benefits of the internet, but often it's full of noise, subreddits like this are pure gold for getting information from.

Even just doing a google search with what you are wanting and added Reddit to the end, therefore you are getting answers to the question from people talking about it, rather than content farms.

What is your definition of 'useful'? Are you looking to answer a question quickly, or looking for multiple sources on a particular topic?

Why is Googling it pointless? Google is still pretty good outside of topics that automatically pull in blogspam, like "what's the best rewards credit card?".
