    No. It’s definitely not what is was, for sure. But while search engines (especially Google) are so fucking bad, adding ‘reddit’ to your search is still the best way to get answers to your actual question and not just irrelevant sponsors and paid plugs.

    Ofc that’s probably a big reason why reddit has swarms of bots for grass roots advertising… it’s a vicious slippery circle of slop

      I haven’t found a useful Reddit result that is less than two years old. Bot answers don’t provide the same value as actual human expertise. Go figure.
