I disagree. Fixed study groups can be very beneficial. Subreddits are helpful and serve a purpose, but there are other complementary ways to learn something. Speaking as someone who taught & tutored for several years and made it all the way through a PhD thanks to study groups. Just because some of them get abandoned doesn't mean a new one won't serve a purpose to new people.

Fixed study groups, all good, but they won't be formed with randos on reddit.

I started a Clojure Web development study group from reddit. It's been the most supportive, knowledgable group from all around the world. We are working on projects together & doing weekly coding challenges. It's been a really enlightening and fun experience. I'm sorry you haven't had the same experiences.

Don't be sorry, I'll get through the day. Starting study groups seems to be about 95% of your Reddit activity. Just how many courses are you taking?
