Uhhhhh....who thought that was going to be a bright idea? Google is probably the single biggest traffic draw for Reddit.

‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google
(www.theverge.com)
Especially since reddit search itself has always been laughably broken.
That search is the only reason a lot of people end up on reddit. This won't end well for reddit.
How do they expect to survive without serach, if they can't even profit with search?
fuck this bruh. google search is worthless and adding reddit to a search query was the only way to make it bearable...
anyone know any good alternatives? maybe some search catalogue with multiple sources including a reddit scrape?
It's not free, but not expensive. You are not the product. They have catalog-like search and curated results.
catalog-like search what's that?
