>>60309996>>60309813theres a now-well documented phenomenon that reddit is displacing googles search results because the internet is getting more and more full of shitty SEO AI-written articles farming clicks and ad-revenue and referral links that people append their searches with "reddit" because it gives them what are ostensibly neutral people or at least a large group of people not trying to advertise to you (although reddit itself is struggling now with the same shit where companies run reddit accounts that pretend to be normal people or pay normal people to advertise surreptitiously)
its such a widespread thing that when reddit blacked out a month or so back, google themselves were getting complaints from people that they couldnt get access to the information despite not having anything to do with reddit.
