    Reviews are the only reason I still visit Reddit. it fucking sucks but for a lot of the things I buy (music gear and fitness equipment mostly), it's the only place you can actually get a fair review of something since you still can look at the poster's history and as long as you keep in mind whatever the sub's groupthink on products are, it usually works out well for me.

      Search for "thing"

      Results all obvious trash and ads

      Search for "thing + reddit"

      Get actual results

      It's cool that google is actively getting worse.

        google removed "don't be evil" from their motto or whatever and now i'm forced to read people's bazinga reddit humor to figure out which sampler to buy. capitalism rocks

        I don't even know how to buy stuff or find meta-conversation without relying on reddit anymore. I can't tell if the Internet actually is 90% wasteland blog spam or that Google just gave up deranking the trash

        When I have an obscure question, after reddit I will also try stackexchange.
