Case in point, my wife was trying to get her Italian birthright citizenship registered (because America isn't looking so hot right now). There's a sub dedicated to people pursuing the same ends, and they all swap information on which consulates are helpful, what forms you'll need, and how to otherwise navigate the byzantine Italian bureaucracy.

Absolutely invaluable. Nothing else like it on the Internet. But yes, the website still sucks ass.

its only "invaluable" because it existsx, if it didnt exist the information would still be on the internet elesewhere

Are you serious? Yahoo answers, lol, quora, the thousands of other forum sites that only died because of the move to reddit, those answers would have still been somewhere because the questions would still be asked regardless of if reddit exists or not.

I think you're just fundamentally misunderstanding the point, almost seems like you're doubling down just to be annoying because it brings you joy.
