Reddit, Quora, and other internet forums that have climbed up through the traditional set of Google links.

First thing I did after I got Kagi was to set lower priority for Reddit results. My search experience has been way better ever since.
I was wondering if the bump was universal or if Google just thought I always wanted to see Reddit results based on my browsing history.
Also, every time Quora comes up it amazes me that it overtook Yahoo Answers. It’s like Tik Tok vs Vine
I really don’t get how Quora gets ranked so highly in search results when it’s one of the worst sites I’ve ever seen. They somehow managed to fuck up the UI on a Q&A forum. And the answers are wrong like 30% of the time.
30% is generously low
Another 30% is just Nazi posting.
Quora was supposed to be the high-brow answer to Yahoo Answers, but then Yahoo Answers was killed off.
Eventually the muppets found their way to Quora. Probably by accident at first, but the Quora moderation didn’t stop enough of the muppetry and now it’s just Yahoo Answers pretending not to be.
Was it ever high brow? I never really noticed it until the past few years
That’s what their marketing team decided to say.
Then they decided to pay people for activity.
How many of those new visitors were actually human though?
How dare you doubt I’m human? Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
really ? How reddit take over google when reddit is slow and clutter while google still fast ?
read the article first then comment.
No, commenting is fast but reading is slow and clutter.
It makes sense. Adding Reddit to my online searches has been my “life hack” for years now. If only Reddit wasn’t becoming annoying as fuck with things like their new UI, blocking third party apps, and finally blocking off VPN users.
These sites are great for finding answers but Lemmy solves the same problem as they do. I’m actually seeing Lemmy results quite often from google recently too (I’m using SearXNG btw, it displays what search engines individual results are from).
