Reddit is currently the most popular search engine. The only people who don’t know that are the team at Reddit, who can’t be bothered to build a decent search interface. So instead we resort to using Google, and appending the word “reddit” to the end of our queries.
Essentially saying that due to seo spam and commercialization, Google is now useless for search and more and more people do site:reddit.com.
I think it’s a little extreme but agree generally.
depends on the hobby. there is a lot of shit that’s locked into facebook groups for certain hobbies and the reddit comments are usually pretty much all over the place with contradicting information.
Google started becoming garbage long ago. People who act like Google becoming garbage was signified by reverse image search crippling and the whole SEO pay game, probably have no clue about searching for info on page 12 and skimming obscure blogs for information. Yes, I do that much research. And anyone who did what I did, can relate well.
I shifted on other search engines and websites to find my information and knew there was a vacuum for better source for information hunting.
