Frankly I feel Google would be more motivated to challenge Reddit. Since so many of Google’s search results go to Reddit, they might as well try to take over that part of the web rather than leaving it in the hands of mercurial leadership of Reddit.
The only problem is possible retaliation from Reddit and potential antitrust problems if other similar sites feel threatened.
- raverbashing 3y agoExcept Google seems completely incompetent at creating new products (though maybe YT shorts is the exception that proves the point) and very bad at handling community
- _Algernon_ 3y agoYT shorts isn't a new product. It's a feature of an existing product, which happens to be the second biggest website.
- Maxion 3y agoI wouldn't say YT shorts is a good example of a well executed product. They all seem shit.
- silisili 3y agoCall a spade a spade. YT shorts is a terribly named, half assed, years late copy.
- yosame 3y agoSame with Instagram Reels, and they're also fairly popular.
- petesergeant 3y agoGoogle should be hyper-motivated, they just appear to be incapable of executing on anything social. Surprised they aren’t visibly scrambling to get it done anyway though
