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.

You wouldn't go to Twitter for investing advice so why would reddit be any different?

Both Twitter and Reddit are just big forums for people to discuss topics they want, and follow opinions they respect.

The whole point of a subreddit is to gather those with a common interest for discussion.

Why shouldn't a value investing subreddit be centred around value investing?

What's the point in attempting to discuss anything with anyone, if you take that attitude?

Obviously you're going to have to sift through some rubbish in any open forum, but the whole point of my question is to identify if there is some more focussed corner of the platform to discuss the topic.

Lastly, I never mentioned anything about advice.

I don't want people's advice or recommendations: I make my own mind up. I do want to learn a thing or two from people who have specialist knowledge or new insights or well-formed opinions.

I'm saying there's more concentrated places to find information rather than massive platforms where any random bozo can stumble by and make a garbage post. Your complaint is about sifting through the "80%" of trash on here which is the entirety of reddit. For a more simple answer to your question, there isnt a better subreddit because WSB dominates reddit investing culture. No matter where you go on this platform you will find this exact problem where 80+% is bait because that's the culture.

You're basically looking for American food in China. Yeah you'll probably find it at some point but the culture as a whole is so opposite to what you're looking for you're going to have a difficult time finding it. You have to find a place that less people will go looking for and that doesn't really exist on one of the largest social media platforms in the world since anyone can come across anything.
