Yeah, reddit also has issues with bots. But it's generally MUCH easier on reddit to gauge the quality of the content you're seeing than some top result on a google search. When looking up "the best <product>" on Google, the results are utterly useless. It's always some site with a financial incentive to buy their particular product. Increasingly, that's low quality Chinese clones of products (and you'll find the same effect is true on amazon). At least with reddit you can click on a user's post history and spot if something is obviously suspicious. On more popular threads you also get way more signal about whether something is sketchy.
