Lol suck shit reddit. Rot in piss
you won’t be missed!It might be at least a little missed for all the useful info and history that it had accumulated over these decades… But oh well.
They shat this bed they get to lay in it
Recently, I’ve been questioning how useful the reddit info actually is. I’ve been lurking in multiple subreddits related to things I’m actually quite knowledgeable at, and the amount of times I’ve seen people asking questions and getting absolutely bogus answers that were highly downvoted was just… concerning. Not to mention how often the correct answer was heavily downvoted for absolutely no reason. That’s when I realised - hey, maybe redditors aren’t that smart after all? I can detect the bullshit for the things I actually know, then what about things that I don’t? Should I trust them?
Not to mention that to get the info you want, usually you’ll have to get through a bunch of shitty jokes, going off topic, rants and even some “totally-not-sponsored” comments.
Thank you for saying it. Reddit still has a pocket in the public conciousness that its still the 1st place to go for answers. It isn’t and it hasn’t been for a loooooooooong time. Not just for the reasons you say, but severe tomfuckery with what they show to SE indexing bots. Most of the links that lead into Reddit are shady as fuck, rarely lead to any good information, and are clearly bubblesorted up in the search algos for mysterious reasons we can’t know in specifics. I did hardcore SEO for 2 years so I have at least a spidey-sense that there’s major shenanigans.
