Consume Product

Unfortunately, reddit still fills a decent vacuum for niche (non political) interests that none of its competitors have been able to do.

I still use reddit for music suggestions and discussing bands and genres that I like, advice on products to buy (particularly tech, though redditors have a tendency to be doom and gloom with anything), subreddits about different tools, weapons, and knives, and in general learning something about various things (that are not related to politics), it's still a useful place to ask questions about shit and get decent answers. Quora is the best alternative in that regard but it's full of self absorbed douchebags in the answers section, and it now has a premium features where previously mentioned self absorbed assholes can lock their answers behind a fucking paywall, it's the dickhead litmus test.

That being said, every major sub is a fucking cesspit. And the reddit team encourages this. But reddit is still, unfortunately, a pretty useful website that doesn't have many actual competitors. Every competitor to reddit has a selection bias to become extremely political on every forum because reddit bans anything to the right of anarcho communism, but mostly leaves non political users alone. The non political communities never go anywhere so its competitors are completely populated by or created by political users that were banned or had their communities banned. Dot win, scored, voat (rip), et al are less parallel websites and more serve to just express thought that reddit doesn't like, even in the "non political" subs on here. The only way for a reddit alternative to actually happen and be populated with the same niches as reddit is for reddit to go the way of digg.
