Duckduckgo has somewhat recently added a feature where with some searches they'll spot you're trying to search for Reddit posts, and ask if you want more of them displayed. It's a useful addition for the habit I've picked up of adding "reddit" to searches to limit the blog spam.
It's a shame it came out now, when reddit is increasingly full of spam and now is blowing itself up.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoIt's funny, I've seen spam sites in my web crawls that append have 'reddit' appended to the page title. I've never seen such search results appear in any search results, but points for effort.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoBoth DDG and Google have some default rules to limit the number of results from one domain. So those clear spam attempts may not make it, but I've seen many sites that include something like "this item is popular on Reddit for x reason, but they don't pay us so it's actually not that great."
