Finally, the article I'm happy someone wrote.
I've lost all faith in most search results. SO MUCH CONTENT is designed and tailored to rank and drive ad traffic, not to inform. This isn't the case with Reddit, since the capitalistic factor isn't there.
Yeah, there's a risk of misinformation from results from bigger subs, but posts from smaller subs almost always produce factual, high-quality content from actual people with no hidden agendas.
Example. I was looking for a french toast recipe some time ago. Searching "french toast recipe" on Google on mobile (in Houston, TX) yields four pinned results, one of which is from the Food Network (which might be okay, but they're also a huge content aggregator), amongst a bunch of recipes, each of which has a marathon of words before the actual recipe because ads gotta ad.
Instead, searching for "french toast recipe site:reddit.com" gives you a bunch of posts from people who asked the same question along with answers from several people, some of which contain links to recipes that didn't rank before (or are ONLY on Reddit).
