1 year agoIs this link broken or is it just a problem with my phone/app? (I’m using wefwef)
I was looking forward to seeing news about Reddit taking a hit on Google’s rankings but when I click the link it takes me to an unrelated story with the following headline: “Right time to bring UCC, Opposition should refrain from communal politics: Senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi”
Am I the only one having this problem?
Yeah, it’s most likely caused by Google profiling OP and showing what it thinks OP wants to see.
Out of interest, I just entered “Reddit vs” into DuckDuckGo (which is a search engine that doesn’t profile its users, and it gets most of its search results from Bing). I got the following search suggestions:
reddit vs quora reddit vs twitter reddit vs discord reddit vs anime reddit vs facebook
I can’t believe that anime made the list but Lemmy didn’t lol
