Jesus fucking christ. Why are they hell bent on destroying themselves.
The fact that Reddit is available from a search engine is one of the main reasons for its popularity imo.
Exactly, Google search itself is so enshittified you pretty much have to tag "reddit" at the end of every query to find any solution to a problem. Even my 55yr boss knows this and he's clueless about anything social media related.
Having tons of Google traffic to any company in would be a godsend, yet Reddit wants to ban it. What a fucking joke.
Reddit's search can't be enshitified because it's never been good.
i never thought i would say this, but at this point bing seems to be a better search engine than google
Spez is an arrogant prick.
