    The only way to use Google to research for a purchase is by adding "Reddit" to the end. Amazing how such a substantial use case for a search engine has been almost completely broken by SEO sponsored trash

      Yes, I add Reddit, or 'forum' depending on what I'm searching for if I want an actually useful opinion on something

      Careful! I & others have engaged in rigging Google search results for stuff when searching with reddit. Mostly niche stuff that doesn't have a lot of attention, but find the wrong thread on otherwise knowledgeable subforum there and you might buy some hot shit.

      My boss was having me screenshot google results for "best (industry) reddit" so he could do some SEO tweaks yesterday...

      It's all gamed to hell
