“We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation”
This is really sad for me. Appending reddit to Google searches was a way to get better information from the internet. Now that option is being polluted by reddit’s terrible business model.
And adding reddit to searchers was a way to deal with Google’s shit search results. Results that are riddle with AI created, SEO, crap that cannot be trusted because the way the sites make money is to sell things.
It’s sad for me to say but, the web is dying because the advertising model is not working out. The investors/share holders need for increasing profits will eventually cause the destruction of the reason people used their products. Google search is a great example of this.

It has chaned for a long time and will change even more. It gets more and more manipulative and noisy. You bearly find “unbiasd” awnsers anymore
The current web economic model is dying, which was never meant to be the model to fit internet’s nature on first place.
The only good news on the Google side of things is that they have tweaked their algorithm somewhat.
As someone who works in the industry, I know they’ve been working to drop all that terrible content that meanders on forever to get to the point, instead boosting more concise pages.
