It’s amazing how bad it is now with SEO-optimisation. Most people (myself included) put “reddit” into the search query to clean things up in the hopes that we’ll get something other than an ad-serve/affiliate-sales-linked website, but this really opens you up to being exposed to astro-turfing.
Edit: Really interested to hear if other people have better ideas than this.
Google juices reddit posts now so no need to throw that shit in anymore. There were recent news articles about it coming from the antitrust case against the company. Now many folks use “-reddit” for how bad reddit is these days clogging up search.
Hadn’t thought of that. Unfortunately generally I’m looking at current products/news more often than not.
Makes me worried about the whole dead internet theory if I’m being honest.
