This will be how I use it as well. Reddit usually tends to have the most concise, up-to-date answers for a lot of questions that I have about most my hobbies. Especially video games.

That will hopefully change, but it was such a good way to basically guarantee I found the information I actually wanted.

I'd be interested to know from someone more tech-savvy whether googling advice, and then clicking on the cached version, still counts as viewing reddit. Because I'd ideally still like to append reddit to my google searches without giving them ad views.

AKA if someone monetises advice given for free, we should be able to freely access it.
