Essentially saying that due to seo spam and commercialization, Google is now useless for search and more and more people do site:reddit.com.
I think it's a little extreme but agree generally.

I ususally add "reddit" to my search terms when I'm looking for recommendations. At least I know I'm getting crowd sourced opinions and not a stupid ranked list where every company paid for their product to be on it...
Neeva has this handy feature that lets you prioritize or deprioritize sites in all your searches, I've just added Reddit to the list.
Are you sure? You can pay people to post fake reviews on reddit easily, too.
You can get X to do Y for Z. Statement works for literally every thing in life.
Since people already know Amazon reviews are doctored, the next logical step would probably be to pay them to post on reddit. I don't know how your XYZ argument goes against that.
You can also use a subject S, verb V and object O to build English sentences, which works for figuratively any thing in life.
Nah, I was right there with you. It's so much better to get recommendations from a hobby/enthusiast subreddit than click bait articles.
