    I wonder why it sucked so much? I’m no expert in terms of crafting a search engine, but Reddit has not lacked funds for some years now

      I always assumed that it increased engagement. Can’t find what you’re searching for? Put up a post asking (even though someone’s already asked that question 1,000 times).

      The answer is always money. Did the awful search stop you from using reddit? No? Why would they spend money to fix it?

      This logic applies to every business in a capitalist economy.
