While Reddit is atrocious without Google, Google is my Reddit search engine, given how its algo is gamed. I miss the day when I could get more than 50 pages of results and still found something useful from some really obscure sites. Now it just stops you after a few pages.

Sounds like more gross incompetence from the Elon Musk playbook, whom spez idolizes because he’s also an incompetent fucking bozo. Oh well, fools and their money and all that.

Am I the only one that regularly used “search phrase site:reddit.com” on Google? It makes the search engine so much better.

Really bad idea to get rid of this feature.

Reddit commits suicide, more at 11.

Pretty hard to kill yourself, when you are already dead. They are pretty much a zombie company at this point, much like X.

Weirdly, I read this as “Reddit doesn’t think it needs search engines,” and was confused about seeing everyone discussing Google specifically. That’s a bit stupid to try to block only the one search engine.
