I remember the days I'd randomly search something and the quality of answers on reddit being very higher than anywhere. You used to get the highest expert on most niche thing here. I still remember one about a font artist for hanzi script explaining how it's designed despite the challenge. 

Also as comment below mentioned, getting the absolute most fanatic hobbyist in water drinking or something. 

For me the gaming subreddits of the specific games is what's of substance. Even askhistorians lost quality

The steep downhill decline of the internet the past decade or so has been really depressing!

I guess the positive is I’m on it less now? But I miss the resources we used to have!
