    I also think reddit is still the overwhelmingly greatest source of human-written information and discussion on the planet. That will take a while to replace.

    I have tried googling for things without adding on “reddit” these past two weeks, and it’s… not good.

      Try a different search engine, like kagi. It’s paid but it’s worth it.

        Idk their example search for “python exceptions” has the #14 link for Ruby exceptions, #15 for C++ exceptions, #17 for Make exceptions (no mention of the word python in this one).

        It seems like many of the links at this point have zero mentions of the word “python” at all. Why are people paying for this?

          Idk why you’re seeing that, I’m not.

          Anyway their focus is quality over quantity. The first 13 results should have given you whatever you needed. There’s always junk at the end of searches.

            I did not consider that, thanks for the perspective.
