      That’s literally been life for me for so long when I’m looking up quite a bit of different things. “Blah blah reddit”

        They seem to intend to make the content on Reddit more disposable, which is a feat unto itself. Technical forum usage will precipitously drop if no one can find it. Or they just endlessly repost it? What an odd decision.

      If they cut Google, I will literally never go to Reddit again. I probably hit a couple pages a week from Google search, and that’s it, but that will be zero pages if they are truly this dumb.

        Tbh it probably is. I don’t use Reddit much anymore for discussion or news or memes, but when I need the answer to a problem or an opinion on a product or service from actual people instead of an overly long review listicle, Reddit search results are still very useful.

      Spez is going full Musk. It’s actually insane. Like… Holy shit.

      I’m praying for Reddit’s downfall here, because if companies are able to get away with this shit the internet is going to get oh so much worse in the near future.

        But at the same time, it sucks. I still use Reddit for episode discussions of shows I watch (which don’t exist here on Lemmy, especially for older shows). I don’t want those to go away without some replacement. Even if Lemmy did suddenly start getting lots of active episode discussions, it’s not really possible to backfill them for older shows and the site is still too small and hard to index, it seems.

        Incidentally, google is the only way I access those, since I no longer browse Reddit normally.
