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.
Then Google sucks.
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.
Google has been a shitballoon for years now.
I’ve been trying Kagi lately. It’s not bad. You have to pay for it, but there are zero ads and their interests align with mine.
Watching all “Top ten list insert…” Youtubers suddenly becoming very quiet.
