Protests broke Reddit hack for useful Google search results—and Google knows it

Search term + Reddit = John Oliver?

Ars Technica
@arstechnica basically if you would close down or ruin stack overflow and reddit, you could easily just throw search away as it would be useless.
Ok, there is still Wikipedia but still.
@peteriskrisjanis @arstechnica That future is coming soon. Both of those sites are attracting lots of LLM content, which means reddit and SO content will become just as junky as search results. Bizarrely, SO and reddit want more such content. I don't know if it's because they can't prevent it even if they wanted to or if they're just stuck in short-term thinking: more content=more views=more revenue.
