    Reddit was one of the last places on the internet where you could read content without logging in. Almost all of the internet is Dark Web now, inaccessible unless you log in.

      I don’t think you understand, we are the ones who are getting fucked. Search results are getting worse and harder for you to find what you need with all the ads, fake news, sponsored sites, ai generated articles, etc… Google doesn’t care if you find high quality results, they will still gett traffic and their money because people won’t just stop using it.

        There good and sometimes better alternatives to Google, you can easily leave without it or use it only when necessary

          It doesn’t solve the issue that the answer you’re looking for is on Reddit and isn’t accessible anymore…

          I mean, good for us for screwing up Reddit, but the transition impacts more than just Reddit itself because subreddits are going private and people are deleting their posts, that’s a whole lot of knowledge just disappearing from the internet overnight and that’s never a good thing! I don’t know how many times I tried to find solutions or answers to tech related questions and the only place I could find an actual answer was on Reddit because it was actual people speaking to each other!

        1. Don’t use Google.

        2. Learn how to search the internet, its not hard.

        3. Adblock is your friend.

        4. People will stop using it only when it becomes unbearable. Their own business tbh.
