‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google
Reddit is apparently seeking to strike deals with big AI companies.
Bro literally the only way to FIND anything on Reddit is via Google, since their own in-house search tool is the most useless thing ever created.
Yeah, this article got a rare audible chuckle out of me. I used reddit for eleven years and in that time their internal search was always a waste of time. Google and Microsoft can train their little chat bots without Reddit. Reddit absolutely will not survive without Google and Bing search results.
They dont want it to be a website random people use once or twice.
They want it to be a locked down walled garden like Facebook or LinkedIn where if you want to see anything, you need to make an account to inflate numbers, for people to open up the official app so they can't leave easily.
Boomers are going to be the target audience soon.
Please. Not having links to Reddit from Google would hasten the inevitable.
Do it
Yes please do. I don't want to see reddit in my search results all together
It's just me or reddit is copying everything Twitter is doing? Elon Musk did this and rolled it back as soon as it was obvious it was a bad idea.
I would love to see Lemmy gain more traction, so I am all for Reddit's plan!
Its an interesting idea, but reddit's own search sucks so bad. AI is ok but often you only want to search. and Reddit's content is good for searching because there is a lot of duplication. It s about time people start breaking away from the fear of google's monopoly
