> Yeah I would never look at reddit for troubleshooting: That's what the various stack-exchange/overflow sites are for

You've hit one of my big beefs with the site. There was a window of a couple of months where it seemed like the ENTIRE first page of results for my programming searches were links to Reddit, which are WORSE than useless. It was clear to me that Reddit was spending INORDINATE amounts of money to have their results pushed to the top. I can't imagine what that had to be to beat out StackOverflow, but that's beside the point. I was already mad about their consumer product "review" cargo culting, but this experience put a chip on my shoulder about ALL of their results now.
