Google just enshittifying even harder. Reddit results in Google searches are often old and anemic these days.
I used to want Reddit threads to show up in search results. Now I avoid them because they are so often a waste of time. More reason to use Duck Duck Go.
I saw Reddit results in a search last night using DDG. It just said something like “It’s here on Reddit, but we’re not allowed to show you.” I wasn’t planning on using Reddit (never again), but that just irritated me.
as a DDG user can confirm. if you search for something and a reddit result comes up it literally will just say “reddit.com” in the description. so it’s a crap shoot if you click on it or not.
All that being said you CAN filter out if reddit results even show up in your search engine of choice using this extension: https://github.com/iorate/uBlacklist
