Are there solid examples of people getting utility from Lesswrong? As opposed to utility they could get from other self-help resources?
Solid as in empirical, no. But I fee like I get a lot out of LW. It's a good source for finding other resources. What do you want help in, if any?
Understanding if reading lesswrong is more or less a waste of time than other internet stuff I read.
I think that depends a lot on how you interact with it. You can read a post on commitment contracts and adopt the technique or you can read the post and just accept the new information. The impact on your life will the very different.
It prob'ly depends on what the other Internet stuff you read is.
