Google Is Now The Only Search Engine That Can Surface Results From Reddit

  1. And it still hides it after that “Quora” shit links or weird forums with almost no users

    Googles search engine code was leaked a month ago. Your top results are from whatever company paid google the most. 

    Its basically the FDA at this point

    techbros trying not to ruin internet challenge: impossible!

    DDG is still returning results from reddit for me.

    Killing SEO for your website is a fast way to kill it.

  6. This is THE situation where anti-monopoly offices should step in. Company with 91% market share (a *de facto* monopoly) pays other company to only do business with them. I don’t use google search and I especially won’t start now.

    Edit: I wrote to EU commission (I’m EU citizen). I sincerely hope they do something about it, Google essentially buying internet would be horrible.

    I also imagine Microsoft won’t be happy about this at all.

  7. Or you can search directly on Reddit. For one extra click

    Good.

    This will kill Reddit even quicker. Can’t wait for this shit hole to become irrelevant.

    So…. Brave search is affected. Well… ChatGPT then.

    Brave Search and DDG still show Reddit results…

    Edit: Did I say something to offend someone? 😂

    “Reddit believes in an open internet, but not the misuse of public content,” Yet they signed a $60mil deal with Google to train their AI with Reddit content and have now blocked everyone else. Fucking garbage.

    So all the shitty search engines got a bit shittier today. Day ending in ‘y’.

    i just search “how to tie your shoes reddit” on duckduckgo and it worked perfectly fine. am i missing something?

    Fucking Google, they made the Internet clunky as hell on the surface level, and reddit was a useful workaround for it. Fuck off Google and Reddit

    i’ve switched from google to bing for integration with my Copilot Pro subscription and to stack microsoft points and adding the word “reddit” after anything im looking into was my way of solving any problem in life. guess ill have to be using google a lot more often again

  16. This is terrible and we should make that known loudly.

    That said, the Google Search engine has been shit for a long time. Probably because of business deals, but even excluding the disclosed “ads”, results no one cares about like those from ‘quora’ flood the first few entries like nobody’s business. So many of the results are trash and irrelevant, nothing like what Google was about a decade ago.

    This is why you search your question and add site:reddit.com so it only shows reddit

    I just watched a video on youtube, with ublock, and it had a 5 second “ad” for me to upgrade to chrome.

    Google are a bunch of cunts

    It’s only a matter of time that this will happen with YouTube and google

    This seems a little odd – why wouldn’t reddit want its site to appear in results everywhere?

    And if I know I want reddit posts, I’ll just go directly to reddit…
