    Confirmed: not even Greedy Pigboy uses that fucking shithole. If he did, he would know that Reddit search sucks major balls, and that it would take a lot of money to fix it.

    And this would also taunt Reddit’s effective suzerain Google/Alphabet. Whose core monopoly is… well, search. Probably finding ways to wreck with Reddit.

            Google is only better because you can see results that aren’t on reddit.

            Nah; Reddit search is so bad, but so fucking bad that people would rather search Reddit content in Google than directly in Reddit. (Cue to the “$query reddit” pseudo-hack).

            And this discrepancy will get even bigger with both sides worsening their searches with AI.

    Monetizing other people’s content, millionaires and billionaires love it. Yes I know there’s a TOS where you give up all rights to what you post there but meh, still shitty.

    Do they, now? All of my experiences with the Reddit search bar were a waste of time, this search bar is an absolute piece of trash. It’s completely useless. I have always gotten immensely superior result searching Reddit from an outside search engine than using the built-in one. It’s that bad. So, good luck to them, I guess…
