I used to do this a whole lot more until Reddit started screwing with the dates of their posts. Now trying to find something within the last year will see results from five years ago show up.
Additionally, Reddit realizes they are being used this way and have made great strides in building out the astroturfing side of their business to allow brands to post ads anonymously.

I do. I also add news.ycombinator.com when it's about technology. It provides better discussions than reddit on average.

I do as well - I use Bing but I experience the same thing. Any search for advice type things is met with a bunch of worthless ad driven junk. Adding Reddit at least gets me something worthwhile.
I mostly do it to see real feedback from real people about whatever I'm interested in, rather than an ad-sense driven list of search results organized in descending order by the highest paying company.
