    What do you mean broke? Getting sexy pics of John Oliver is a significant upgrade to the normal dross you find insite:reddit

    So big tech gutted the internet with their search engine,

    reddit was on of the few places you could get useful, organic content

    reddit decided to fuck with the people generating this content

    content generating users did not like it, start to strike

    google’s shiti engine can’t return any decent results besides SEO optimized trash

    It’s a shame really. The Reddit hack really was the only way to get around all the SEO crap invading your search results.

    Glad Google seems to be, at least briefly, realising the problem. People want actual answers, not useless crap designed to look like them.

      I’d like to see a search engine that has a setting to just search forums. Organic user generated content is where most of the valuable information is, at least for troubleshooting/ product recommendations/ hobbies.

    It’s crazy how badly google fucked up the internet with their shitty SEO rules. I can’t find what I’m looking for half the time because I need to sort through a ton of bullshit once I get passed the ads.
