This is so depressingly true. It's why most of my Google queries are affixed with `site:stackoverflow.com` or `site:reddit.com`. I lean on this so heavily that I've setup a couple Firefox keyword bookmarks so I can type `so <query>` or `r <query>` respectively into my address bar as a shortcut. Doing this has vastly improved troubleshooting, finding recipes or product recommendations, etc. It slices through SEO blogspam. I get genuine results, fast.
