- ftxbro 3y agoi think the real reason is the enshittification of online spaces by seo and spams and bots and other things, and some reddit mods were somehow able to hold the line against it (wait am i defending a reddit mod i would never do it). i've heard that many people using google will just always restrict it to reddit domain. so yeah. it's also not a coincidence about the blackout. i think they are trying to cash in on this shift. not that i'm saying it's a good idea or that their plan is smart.
