    Ironically, reddit’s search feature was also trash. If I wanted to find something on reddit I just went to google and appended “reddit”.

      IIRC, they cited google as a reason not to work on their own search, since that’s what most of their userbase had got used to searching reddit with anyway by that point.

        Reddit also cited 3rd party apps, bots and extensions as a reason to not develop many of the features on their own… and here we are now.
