Enshittification was already causing reddit to ruin google results.
Reddit's new garbage redesign contains other posts from a subreddit in the page. So often times you'll google a term and get a link that looks like exactly the post you want, but it ends up being a different post in the same subreddit, and the one you were looking for was just in the suggested posts for that one.
Also, reddit has ruined filtering by time somehow. I'll often try to search for information on e.g. a new update for a game and find posts from years ago about old mechanics, despite filtering to "last 30 days"

- tectec 3y agoYou'd think that reddit would be smart enough to show web crawlers a cleaner version than real users, or is that not allowed? Maybe google needs whitelist some of the biggest sites on the web so they can feed searchable data into google in a more efficient way.
