According to this, Google has 91.06% of the search engine market. So for Reddit, they’re talking about cutting themselves off from a little under 9% of people searching out there. Which…I mean, it isn’t insignificant, but it isn’t likely gonna hurt them all that badly.

It’s also worth noting that the 9% they cut off was probably the group more inclined to already be using alternatives to Reddit anyways.
