I had to give my friend this news some years ago, to no avail. Sooo many upvoted “answers” on Reddit are just confidantly incorrect BS. It’s also trivial to find reddit answers from general search results instead of limiting your search to just Reddit.
There was a small window where Reddit could be used to find good answers to things, but that ship sailed long ago.
As soon as the site started to become popular in the mid 2010’s, every “expert” was someone who maybe once took a related class in college, or think sharing their girlfriend’s uncle’s neighbor’s relevant story means they have the definitive answer.
“Hello Reddit, does anyone else catch themselves acting differently between family and friends?”
“As someone who once took a psychology class in college, your symptoms are 100% aligned with dissociative identity disorder, and you should seek help immediately.”
Reddit is useless for questions. If you’re a subject-matter expert in something, find the subreddit for it and prepare to be horrified.
