People go to twitter to see what famous people and influencers have to say.
People to go Reddit for the consolidated forums while also being able to browse a bunch of other entertainment and memes all in one shot. Or at least I do. The breadth of offerings of Reddit is a selling point.
reddit has so many users that basically all interests are covered. I can look up an discussion thread on relatively obscure anime/manga that came out 8 years ago. That's hard to compete with and why I won't be quitting reddit entirely.
Yup, I've ended up having better luck searching for a product with "site:reddit.com" as well. It's also been the home for memes for quite some time. Even when I don't feel like delving into discussions on things, it's still the best / easiest place to scroll silly pictures and laugh for a bit when I'm lifting at the gym and between sets.
I won't be quitting though I'll be trying to dwindle my use a bit. I'm not much of a doom scroller but I will run through a list of subreddits on a regular basis.
