‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google
(www.theverge.com)
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.
