Why not educate yourselves. There are masses of free online courses. Learn a foreign language, learn to write computer code , learn how to invest your money, learn basic economics , learn basic physics.

Do an online MBA

Learn how to cook - everyone should be able to do 10 basic meals.

Go to the open university and get inspired

And on and on and on.

A lot of people are now being payed to educate themselves. The internet is a wonderful thing

I wouldn't say so, Quora is more a question and answer site. reddit is just user submitted content with discussion, and content is organised by the votes it receives. It's the 18th highest ranking website in the world on Alexa (factoring in page views, time on site etc, so pretty big. By comparison Quora is 240. Reddit is mixed content so might be photos, gifs, videos, text, links. you can start your own community if one doesnt exist for a topic.
 
FatCat a mate of mine told me about that over the weekend, even at 10 years old my son thinks it's amazing keeps getting me to send photos of him with a tiger or bear. Last night he went to sleep with a snake lovingly coiled around him.

Freaked his grand parents out though 😊
