I find searching for in-depth content on the EA Forum vastly better than Reddit. This isn’t just relating to EA topics. There are a few academic-ish subreddits that I like and will search when I’m interested in what the amateur experts think on a given topic. Finding relevant posts is about the same on Reddit but finding in-depth comments + related posts is very hard. I usually have to do some Google magic to make that happen.
Also on rare occasion, I end up liking a person’s writing style or thinking methods and want to deep dive into what else they’ve written about. On the EA Forum, about 100% of what I find will be tangential to things I care about. On Reddit, it’s more likely I’ll have to sift through lots of hobbyist content like about sports since it’s more of a “bring your whole self” platform.
