I’d love to see Bing or Qwant or Yandex (to be honest ideally Bing as they share their index) get a similar deal for StackOverflow or Github just to give Google a taste of their own medicine now

Need a replacement for reddit anyway.

Unfortunately it’s full of specialist subs and useful walkthroughs, tutorials, answers and so on. It’s impossible to replicate the work of so many years.
Not only do we need Reddit, we need to get a hold of post archives (as recent as possible until they limited the API) and make them searchable offline.

Where would we ever find something like that?

I am using mojeek, so no more Reddit nonsense on my result, huh

Didn’t reddit also start introducing adverts as appearing like user-generated content? If that’s included in google’s indexing I’d actually prefer relying on older indexes of the site. It’ll probably be a while before new indexes are significantly more valuable for anything other than very specific inquiries than an index of however many years it was between reddit’s founding and last week, anyway. And that’s assuming that Reddit stays as central as it is and doesn’t lose any more market share to any other reddit-like platform (like Lemmy)

Nice, I hope that page stops appearing in my search results.

Imagine if this becomes a trend though. Every decent-sized website has an exclusivity deal with one search engine. At that point either google becomes the only functional search engine because it successfully monopolised too much of the web, or search engines in general become useless becaue every one of them is missing too many websites

Yeah this is some serious anticompetitive practices here. Teddy Roosevelt would be fuming

Search engines are rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
Google decided a few years ago that quality doesn’t matter (and they’re right, the monopoly they have means that their quality doesn’t matter for a good long while) but over the long term that’s sitting themselves in the foot.
This is just phase 2, installing fences around your market.
Phase 2 is often legal, so I’m waiting for some patent battles or something like that too, but the effect is the same.

Saying Idgaf is deflection of the real issue here
