    It feels absolutely nutty that it’s gone from

    • Reddit search sucks, I literally use google to search stuff in Reddit
    • Things I’ve never seen: Page 2 of Google

    to

    • I literally need to add reddit when I do a google search
    • I cannot find what I want after page 5

    Google used to be synonymous with reliable results and Reddit as the awkward website you barely spoke about. Now you need to use reddit to find proper results because the slow bleeding that is SEO has screwed over Google.
