Because Reddit is garbage? I mean, Lifehacker is too, but in theory yes of course there’s a place for advice that isn’t garbage, even if LH isn’t it.

- kwertyoowiyop 4y agoReddit is better than Google lately. I’d pay $5/month for a curated search that removes the SEO crap, even if the filtering was a bit too aggressive.
- asdff 4y agoI mean that is a pretty low bar. Outside of reddit, "institutional" results like wikipedia or cdc.gov etc, and the occasional living fossil niche forum that has miraculously survived to this day, I can't say I've seen very many relevant results. Usually I defer to reddit but sometimes even that is junk, and google tends to misdate ancient reddit threads as more recent. The best is when I identify a relevant forum on the first pass. Then I can append the site:forum.com tag and actually search the forum, because its internal search is probably ancient rate limited junk still. Google makes a great search tool for parsing an individual or handful of websites like this, but its terrible of course when parsing the firehose of the modern web.
