Will ClarkEvery time you hear the Reddit CEO talking about how they need to become profitable, remember they raised $250m and then spent the last couple years building this: https://nft.reddit.com
Glenn@robotdeathsquad True, but business dudes are gonna be like that. Just move on. Do you really need Reddit?

Considering the first result to almost any google inquiry for how to fix some problem is a reddit link.... yeah... unfortunately for now we kinda need reddit.

@duckles77 @robotdeathsquad You know I've been hearing that a lot lately and I don't think I believe it. I google a lot and while I occasionally see reddit in the search result it is seldom at the top (although it occasionally is). This seems a bit like salesmanship from Reddit to me.

It could be because I search niche stuff, but ddg and g! both return reddit as 2-4 links of the top 5 results typically. I really noticed it during the blackout!
@booty @duckles77 @robotdeathsquad I suspect that this is a search history thing. If you have clicked on reddit results a lot in the past, reddit results will be more likely to come your way. I am sure that if you are a reddit user and depend on the information there as a resource the lack of reddit in search results will be a problem. I just don't think it matters at all for the rest of us.
@glennsills @booty @robotdeathsquad Alternately, my OTHER favorite "internet forum phenomenon" is when you Google something and the first response to the first link is "OMG learn 2 search n00b. The first result will give you the answer."
My brother in decade old christ... You ARE the first result. Just answer the question and don't be snarky
