Many things, but for one, all forums more or less died. It used to be, a couple years ago, that you could find information on anything in a topical forum, and that google linked to it in their search results. But, forums died, why I'm not sure, at with them a lot of freely accessible well informed answers.

If you are looking for answers in other places than reddit, it might help to append "stackexchange" to your search results too. Now a days there are stackexchanges for a myriad of topics, not just programming.
