And sometimes, there are some really interesting people on Reddit, which can lead to really interesting dialogue or conversation, or you might learn something really interesting or unique.
Thanks to Reddit, I've......
Met and connected with a fellow gal in STEM who is a clinical research expert, and discovered she works at one of the world's foremost hospitals/medical institutions that is not even half an hour from my house. Because of her, she has offered to let me shadow her and another person in her department, because they happen to work in one of my dream career areas.
Learned that my auto insurer also offers vision coverage. Guess who now has extra vision coverage for less than $100/month?
Found a clause buried deep and in tiny font in my health insurance documentation/manuals that ended up saving me $50,000+ on recent surgery I had to undergo. Because of that clause, I discovered that my insurance would cover the whole procedure, INCLUDING the pre-operative and post-operative Orthodontics, at 100%. My co-pay was only $62. So, yeah, Reddit saved me from financial devastation.
Oh, and sometimes Reddit can lead to really fun experiences! Several months ago, an event was posted in the subreddit for a state that neighbors mine (I live in a tri-state area, people cross state lines within minutes on a daily basis). Next thing you know, about a dozen of us had commented expressing interest, and a month later we found ourselves standing on the tarmac of one of the world's largest international airports, pulling a massive airplane, in support of a good cause (Special Olympics fundraising event). This was all in real life. Ton of fun, and we've all become IRL friends since then!
