site:www.reddit.com/r/whatever_subreddit "whatever you are searching for"

Works for me every time. I haven't used Reddit search in 10 years.

I'm at a loss for why anyone would want to read Reddit comments in the first place though. At least on one of the top 100 subs.

Subs like AskReddit literally are their comments. That's why you read them.

Comments are literally the whole point of forums - what the point be if people did NOT want to read the comments?

I agree there are a lot of crap comments on the bigger default subs (as is the same with any forum) but those are relatively easy to ignore and recognize with experience. Or maybe I just have been using internet forums for too long !

Even for private subreddits? Severe doubt.

That isn’t a problem faced by the vast majority of Reddit users. What I posted is a workaround that has been available since Reddit was founded and would be useful for the average user to know.
