For me, it's a few things.

A way to burn time that doesn't feel like a digital sugar rush.
Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.
Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

This.

Plus the shitty humor. There was a time when the memes and shit-posts were actually fun (or at least somewhat creative.)

Then the Facebook and Instagram crowd moved in and reddit was reduced to 9gag re-posts and selfies with zero context.

I feel so old writing out those words...

That's probably how this will end up too if it takes off in the same way Reddit did though.

You either die a 9gag or you live long enough to become a 4chan
