So the old trick of “search term +reddit” no longer will work then huh?

I’ve already made a habit of adding date limiters to web results from before before LLMs were made public… The SEO ‘optimization’ game of before was bearable, but the LLM spam just ruins so many search results with regurgitated garbage or teaspoon deep information

search term +reddit

tossing site:reddit.com before any search will guarantee all results come from reddit, if that's what you're looking for.

During the peak of the great purge, it was quickly becoming pointless. A lot of results were bringing up deleted posts. It took a while for search engines to catch up and start filtering a lot of those results out.
