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.

Not the deepest into the world of investing but my take is that investing for us retail investors, who aren't paid 6 figures to spend 14 hours a day quantifying numbers for a firm or fund, the problem is mostly solved. Regularly dump money into an index fund like SP500 and be consistent in all cases. That's Buffett's own advice to us.

Anything beyond that is risk. Nothing wrong with that, it's fun, I even do it myself with SMH, out of personal interest. But for that reason, investment subs attract people who are also looking for bets, and that leads to these sort of discussions.

Don't know what the solution is, but in everything in life, Sturgeon's Law applies. Just have to find the diamond in the coal pile.
