So before normal users came we would tell people to RTFM, most of what was on there was posted from manuals often paraphrased (yes I get how that can help). There is very little on reddit that cannot be found in other locations though I will admit there are likely a handful of subs that did some unique stuff. Side effect of being primarily a link aggregator.
Also encourage people to back up before shredding.

The problem is that those other locations are frequently blog-style posts written primarily for SEO rankings, and the actual information is buried in pages of irrelevant content.
Reddit had a very high signal to noise ratio for niche hobby / technical questions.
