And reddit works because it's not an algorithm that decides which post is good, it's people with upvotes. And that in turn can be used by search engines. Maybe that's what would fix Google. Up&down-votes for web results. Would probably be the easiest way to penalize bad sites and promote good niche pages. But after they removed downvoting in Youtube, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
