There’s a certain irony in Google only being useful to find Reddit links, but Reddit’s own search engine being so dogshit that you can’t find anything on the site unless you Google it
Adding “Reddit” to your Google search only helped because content from Reddit wasn’t linkfarm blogspam.
Frankly that was changing anyway. Reddit was going downhill well before the api changes.
Good. People are supposed to be inconvenienced.
Wdym?
Convenient protests are easily ignored. The fact that this one even impacts Google search results shows how much Reddit’s content matters.
Then Google sucks.
Indeed. One may argue that Reddit is actually a valuable source of information but to some extent this is the problem of Google promoting links to Reddit in its search. Reddit is simply a SEO-darling which uses some dirty hacks to appear more relevant to search engines and no one seems to address this issue.
Watching all “Top ten list insert…” Youtubers suddenly becoming very quiet.
