Re:Show HN: A Firefox add-on to strip Google search results ... by TheRealDunkirk on Monday May 25, 2020 @08:13AM (#23300214)
And I just recently looked for something like this because I'm sick and tired of Google top-ranking results from Reddit, where someone asked an intelligent question, and there were zero responses. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen an actually-useful response to a technical question on Reddit, but a link to a targeted subreddit always seems to be at the top of my search results now. I wonder how much this is costing Reddit. I hope it's a lot, and they stop this nonsense soon.

You sure that, reddit buys its place?

I rather suspect this has to do with the search algorithm favors known and big domains in the ever going on war against scam and fake sites.

I too have noticed the big 3 search engines serving more *eddit links than usual. And without retyping the url, (old.) the comments are hidden anyway so they are effectively a shade worse than useless.
