  Unfortunately (for me, I guess), appending ‘reddit’ is still the way to go for many queries…

    I’ve notice a huge decline in the reliability of using this now that every company on earth knows about this trick. You’ll just be served up posts with 0-3 comments and few upvotes when searching for product reviews or recommendations for example.

    The way the article is written you’ll still get existing information, just not new posts.

    Really? For what queries though? I mostly look up tech troubleshooting when ime there are much higher quality results from forums or sometimes stack exchange sites

      Yeah for tech stuff stack exchange is the way to go. But if I’m looking for info on non-tech stuff, there’s not really a site that I know of that has a bunch of general user submitted q&a. There’s quora, but that’s absolutely horrible.

      Also even with stack exchange, the rules are a bit more strict there, low effort posts are uncommon which can mean you can’t find some stuff there. Although usually there’s some other forum you can find your answer on.
