While the technology shows promise, early testers have found that it falls short of a well-known search trick: adding “reddit” to the end of queries. Instead of directing readers to sites targeting SEO traffic, this straightforward technique draws on the knowledge of Reddit’s community to provide actual help from forum discussions.
The ripple effect of the protest is really showing despite of how some may call it useless. It hurts to see the only source I trust to get good info and reviews from falling apart like this, but nothing lasts forever I guess.
It’ll have to be tested, but I’m not sure Perspectives will do what the ‘reddit’ query does for many people. I can only speak for myself, but I typically would add ‘reddit’ to searches because I was looking for thorough information on a subject, and I was certain there would be some random subreddit out there full of experts and enthusiasts on that specific niche topic. I don’t want social media or influencer content, I want content from people with extremely deep knowledge about very specific things.
