Good. People are supposed to be inconvenienced.
Wdym?
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
I’ve always heard that reddit search was no good, I always used the joey for reddit app and the search seemed to work well. What was wrong with it on the browser?
Watching all “Top ten list insert…” Youtubers suddenly becoming very quiet.
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.
Hey everyone, since this is a major event, we’re trying to keep things tidy on our instance and centralize the reddit situation. Please see the Megathread on beehaw at: https://beehaw.org/post/550898
Literally hit this yesterday. Wanted to look how about battery issues on Steamdeck. I don’t run Google, but SearXNG, and a ton of the hits were for Reddit directly. Hopefully, though I doubt it, folks will eventually learn to stop giving our data, knowledge, privacy, etc to corporations.
