You're saying it's okay to bully people and violate people's privacy because it's good for them? Interesting argument. If you really believe that argument, post the most cringeworthy video of yourself on the Internet. For the cred. You're right that the way these things get found usually isn't by Googling. If something's on the front page of reddit, the most likely way is your friends or colleagues will run into it and pass it around. In smaller communities, that may continue for years. But Google is certainly a way people will find it too, even if the name isn't in the post. Search engine 101: the way Google works is by looking at text in incoming links. If I have a few links posted on social media which say "Hey, chmod775 lost his temper in a restaurant and boy did he make a fool of himself," that's exactly what Google will point to. If this person isn't famous enough to have other high-profile pages about them, it's likely to be on page 1, or even the top link.
