There’s not going to be much of a reddit for them either, rats flee a sinking ship.

The Google search result issue came to a head because of the reddit debacle. With the protest sending so many core subs private it immediately killed any seo those subs had on google search. Even Google made the announcement acknowledging that the reddit protest had ruined search results with most of one of the largest and most visited websites suddenly not being searchable.

If I had to hazard a guess I’d say the trouble at reddit is the first thing to put fire under Googles feet in a long time and now the tech giant’s eye is focused back on their main product for generating ad revenue.

So with Elon putting limits on accessibility for his site there is zero chance of Google being able to properly index and cache twitter content, I’d even bet most of the moderation was done by automated indexing systems that could no longer access content.

As someone who spent the last 13 years browsing reddit almost entirely with RIF, if it hadn’t been for third party services I’d have left when they added awards.

Remember when Google separated their parent services into a new company called Alphabet? Alphabet’s motto isn’t ‘don’t be evil’.

Just like reddit. Looks like the Speztic and the Elongated Muskrat are caught in an ouroborus of like-minded stupidity.

Also just happens to be the rest of the rules too.
