Reddit? The site with a search so bad, I had to use external search engines? Great idea.
Also, Reddit offers their own AI Q&A? The site that prominently poisend many Google AI summaries? What are they even smoking at this point?

The site that prominently poisend many Google AI summaries
The site that made huge bank by selling API access to Google so Google could poison its own search results with shitty AI summaries.
Problem is they’ve been smoking whatever Google AI recommends for too long now

Tip to any readers that don’t know, you can get search results from a specific website adding
site:followed by the domain.For example, if you want to limit the results to reddit.com and you want to search for
fuck spez:fuck spez site:reddit.comThis also works with subreddits. If you want to look for
vincein the r/nba subreddit:vince site:reddit.com/r/nbaI am pretty sure this works with subdomains too, I just can’t think of any examples off the top of my head that would be useful.
I tested this with Google, Duckduckgo, and Bing. It works for all of them.
