Google executives acknowledged this month they need to do a better job surfacing user-generated content after the recent Reddit blackouts.
That was one of the first things that I thought about. People can’t affix “Reddit” to their Google searches in good faith anymore, so what is the next most reliable community?
No shit lol
Users weren’t happy with the search results before the blackout either, and “quite” has no part in it. Google traded quality results for revenue over a decade ago… right about the time they changed their Don’t Be Evil motto.
If Google makes changes that stop people from clicking through to reddit due to the protests then the protests will have likely done more lasting damage than anyone imagined.
Wow, one meaningless, entirely replaceable piece of shit brought two giant companies to their knees. Good job, capitalism. Such a fragile snowflake.
