For me, it's a few things.

  1. A way to burn time that doesn't feel like a digital sugar rush.

  2. Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.

  3. Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

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...
