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.

Well that seems to be also a result of the reverse. Since normal forums on the open web are dying and more and more content is moved into walled gardens like Facebook or soon to be closed places like Reddit, Google really doesn't have much left to search through.
The better headline would be probably that the open web is dying and as a result Google search results suffer.
