For me, it’s a few things.
- 
A way to burn time that doesn’t feel like a digital sugar rush. 
- 
Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking. 
- 
Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info. 


There was also a huge problem with people posting the same comments over and over. After browsing for 10 years you could read the title and assume the top 5 comments.
Comments used to be the best part. So many different opinions, made me say “hmm haven’t thought it that way” but now I just say why bother.
