This is surprisingly good information, right now. I'm somebody that does intense product research before buying anything, and I went through the first 25 categories on the site that were relevant to me, and in each case the products I had decided on were in the top 3 results. One thing I did note based on that experience/prior knowledge is that Reddit seems to trend towards lower cost products ("value") vs recommending the absolute best product for the category, but the absolute best tends to be at least in the top 5 and usually top 3, but is not number 1.
My only concern with this sort of capability is now that it exists it will encourage gaming sites like Reddit even more than they already are. This just becomes the next generation of blogspam, fake review sites, and SEO gaming to get your product at the top of the list for "best X". A lot of people for awhile have been adding "reddit" or "site:reddit.com" to their searches to filter this, and so people have already been gaming Reddit for awhile, but this just drives it further up the value chain.
