If people haven't tried looking for smaller subreddits or more controlled subreddits then I'd highly encourage them to. Reddit may have a huge amount of low effort content and frankly highly disturbing content, but some of the subreddits are absolutely fantastic. I'm not really into history but https://reddit.com/r/askhistorians is a treasure trove of fascinating information, with well sourced and detailed answers to the kind of questions non-history buffs might want to ask.
Reddit, with good moderation, is a world apart from what you see if you visit the main page.
On a side note, it's also a great place to go and see discussions around things you highly disagree with. It might help to understand the motivations of "the other side".
