I don’t miss it one bit as a social platform. I just wish that search engines wouldn’t prioritise it as much when I try to find a “how to do….” guide. It’s insane how many Reddit threads (half deleted and otherwise) dominate the results. Just show me a nice webpage please.
Without Adblock detection. And no bloody “how to” videos either. I just want to read it through, thank you.
You can use "-reddit" at the end of your search string to filter out reddit results. And "-youtube" if you don't want to watch a 20 minute video about how to find the thing in the video game.
That is SUCH a useful tip. Thank you.
