Reddit is very useful for niche results that are normally functionally impossible to find any information on at all. If that is not the case, it's not really the shilling that's the biggest trouble, it is that people on Reddit have just become a cross-slice of regular society now. That means that when they answer questions about anything that even remotely requires domain knowledge, you can be entirely certain that they will be wrong in ways that you do not expect.
