Honestly, what was Google thinking? There's nobody in Google product team familiar enough with Reddit or how much of a cesspool is it?

- astrange 2y agoReddit is the only source of many good results on Google anymore. If it's not Reddit or Wikipedia it's a content farm.
- p3rls 2y agoOf course that is google's fault too. Google has destroyed almost every niche by creating winners out of ugly blogspam from South Asia. I invested almost a half million this past decade on trying to build something useful for my niche (coincidentally kind of a wiki/reddit hybrid) that isn't another ugly wordpress and know this firsthand.
- astrange 2y agoThe worst ones for me are product reviews where it gives you hundreds of non-credible Wirecutter clones. Reddit reviews are useful though.
- Unbefleckt 2y agoI though it was a me thing, adding reddit to my search queries. I didn't realise things were that bad.
- the_snooze 2y agoDid they not learn from Tay training on trolls and regurgitating their garbage? That was less than a decade ago!
- disqard 2y agoI found it extra funny when Satya said (after their "let's add AI into every corner of Office" release) "I want people to know that we made them dance" Every day that Google continues to pursue this crap in order to please Wall St, the more it resembles a dancing bear.
