This could affect a lot of peoples searches. I don't know about you, but when my laptop stopped working correctly last month, the best solutions were still ones that google linked me to reddit to read.... That said, don't believe every news article on the internet and all that...

Man, 2023 is wild. Seeing all of these social media platforms just try their dumbest solutions because they think they're bigger than life.

But you know, I really like this. I like the idea of any intentional or unintentional motive to clean up some search results. Google is beyond a lost cause to find anything useful since it just spits results in a scattershot fashion, but, it'll be interesting to see what people can find if Reddit has the balls to really sever itself from Google/Bing.

Maybe it might encourage people to actually deepen their research than lazily relying on half-baked takes and even more half-assed essays from reddit users who pretend they're smart.

It's true, the world is an odd place and has the wrong people making a lot of the decisions.

Not saying I would make the right ones either, mind, but I am aware I'm not an expert.... They don't seem to be.

Well, one can always search for data within a service's website itself, but yeah, Google is more convenient and also faster for that 🤔

decision makers got mad

Reddit is still valuable to me because lots of game-related troubleshooting data is (still) there.
Well, other potential topics as well.

Yeah, I can rather make a new topic here instead and wait for an answer for months that may or may not come or make a discussion in Steam about it, but also Steam doesn't somehow feel as convenient surrounding for me...

I'm hopeful to see that side up and running here at kbin at some point as well though!
