> In that order too (ie, Reddit is the least useful).
For me, it's the exact opposite. In the case of Reddit, you can filter it down to only subreddits you are interested in, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio significantly.
Twitter would be the first thing I would get rid of tbh. It encourages shallow retorts and memes more than anything else. The only thing I still get from it is news, but Reddit gives you that with potentially interesting discussions on top.
I don't really participate in it, but Reddit's the only place I can easily find opinions about products that're maybe not paid shilling, now that smaller sites and forums are practically un-Googleable unless you already know their names—i.e. they won't come up for a search for anything general that they write about or discuss, unless you include their name, and even then it's iffy. Actually that's also true for a lot of things that aren't exactly products. If I want to know about a vacation spot but I don't want blogspam shill bullshit then I'll probably head to Reddit.
I do a lot of "reddit [thing I want to know about]" in DDG, just to kick the Reddit results to the top over all the webspam. Not "!reddit [thing I want to know about]" because Reddit's internal site search is, like most, worse than DDG or Google.
