Comment on Reddit wants to be a search engine now

Confirmed: not even Greedy Pigboy uses that fucking shithole. If he did, he would know that Reddit search sucks major balls, and that it would take a lot of money to fix it.

And this would also taunt Reddit’s effective suzerain Google/Alphabet. Whose core monopoly is… well, search. Probably finding ways to wreck with Reddit.

They will integrate AI and it will be terrible.

  Both sides are doing it. Except Google has enough resources to make it slightly less terrible.

    Google is only better because you can see results that aren’t on reddit.

    Nah; Reddit search is so bad, but so fucking bad that people would rather search Reddit content in Google than directly in Reddit. (Cue to the “$query reddit” pseudo-hack).
    
    And this discrepancy will get even bigger with both sides worsening their searches with AI.
