Most of the worthwhile content in my city’s sub are links to local journalists who are paid to do more than cursory research. Outside of food and apartment recommendations, a lot of the user-generated subreddit content is unreliable.

I don’t doubt there are exceptions, and in subreddits for large cities, perhaps a few users are willing to do free in-depth journalism for those audiences. But I’ve looked at several other cities’ communities, mostly of small and medium size, and seen similar dynamics.
