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.

    Yeah pretty much the only way I use reddit these days. Google is terrible if you can’t find your answer on the first page. I’d still rather get an answer from a niche forum over reddit, but if I can’t find a forum I just slap “site:reddit.com” on there.

    Problem is reddit is also bots (if your using the articles dead internet definition). Just blatantly people selling their shit or fake reviews so reddit is kinda losing its usefulness in that respect too. Probably at the same pace as the rest of the internet though. It’s harder and harder to find reviews of things that aren’t sponsored

      And google is the best of the lot, on other search engines the second page is often all the same sites as the first. as is the third.
