For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

  • I think it started just from lack of enough users to support more niche communities, but yeah, I’m starting to like it this way too I think. It probably helps avoid the echo chamber effect re. trivial shit, too. This way, it’s less likely people will end up in little bubbles just preaching to their choirs or arguing in circles. Maybe.
