If they were just talking about Reddit, I’d assume something dodgy was going on connected with the IPO. But Quora is supposedly back from the dead too… Am I missing something glaringly obvious here?

    I do believe reddit pops up in my search results more frequently these days than it did a year ago, without any explicit prompting with ‘reddit’ keyword… (just based on my impression, though)

      I honesty can’t search a damn thing and not have Reddit be the first result. I basically been using AI over search to fix things… probably as intended.

      That or google bought a lot of shares ahead if IPO.

        There are search addons able to filter out specific sites, if you’d like it.

          Not saying its bad info sometimes. There’s a reason most of us used reddit. It just seems like its the new SEO optimized background noise now. It’s not what I’m looking for, and I rather avoid the site now.
