So how does that apply to the conversation around Google, though? We can't only ingest information from a small group of sources. That's antithetical to the entire concept of the internet.

Isn't that effectively what limiting a google search to reddit does?

Not that I'm convinced it will keep working, since reddit isn't really a vendor in the same sense, and doesn't have those incentives.

Not really because the content is coming from a variety of users who are creating the content on the site. Reddit itself is not creating the content in the same way that sellers are trying to sell you their products and Google is trying to serve you their ads.

Yeah, I agree, but reddit also doesn't have the same skin in the game, hence the prior comment.
