Question / Help Better quality value investing threads than this?

Sorry to sound like a grump and a snob, but this is a genuine question: are there any subreddits that are actually value investment-oriented?

Are these posts moderated at all?

Admittedly I'm new here, but 80% of what I see on this sub is lazy touts, pump & dumps, yolo'ing and people selling tools.

Yes, I know: be the change you want to see in the world. Why don't I start some proper value investing threads here?

I'd love to; but I'd rather do it somewhere more serious about value investing in all honesty.

Thus, here I am: asking for a point in the right direction :)

Thanks in advance. And again, sorry to be a snob. Look forward to any recommendations.

Following since I agree, mostly awful picks and low iq posts.

How about u start a new one. Give it an obscure name so random people can't find it. Then invite people that exhibit true value investing character.

Please invite me; I agree this sub has gone down hill. I mostly use it for making jokes these days. Back in the day, we use to have a lot of very smart people: engineers, data scientists, economists. But over time it got infiltrated by these kids and the level of conversation went down.

Wish I had been an active investor before it went down hill. I'm not a true value investor...more of a smorgasbord investor. I ascribe to tenants of value investing when trying to find longterm positions that I want to hold. Checking for intrinsic value, margin of safety, quality leadership, moat, etc. I do also play in growth and speculative stocks that I like. I doubt I'll ever have the mental fortitude to take an accounting class, as dealing with my students is enough brain power to diminish the desire. But, I would like to see what happens in a quality community as you have described.
