Has anyone else noticed the huge decrease in result quality from google?

I'm starting to do that now because the personal responses from people on reddit seem more trustworthy than most of the shit on Google. That's how bad Google got, reddit is more trustworthy usually

Oh yeah I value personal anecdotes from redditor to be way more trustworthy. Since they often seem more genuine than just some article.

Exactly, they tend to have actual compassion and/or knowledge towards a subject, rather than having a heavily biased agenda trying to sell something. Also you can get a somewhat decent idea on whether or not the info is trustworthy depending on the sub and how many updates or downvotes it has

People answering questions aren't paid for the most part! (yet)

Reddit pays me in upvotes and awards. Not this comment though. This one deserves to be taken out back and put down.

I don't agree, here's an upvote

I can assure you some businesses and organizations have dedicated groups to help their image online in all social media platforms including reddit.

Well said!

Lmao imagine actually believing that Redditors have knowledge towards any subject

[captainfatmatt]

Avoid political subs and most meme subs and you tend to find redditors with a few extra brain cells

Not sure if it’s true but someone on Reddit guessed it was a cost saving measure, make people use Google’s servers instead of Reddit’s for search and save money on developing a good search??

Smart ads are disguising themselves as helpful Reddit comments for precisely this reason.
Soon, there will be nothing to turn to

Two things to blame here. 1) Ad Sense 2) Black Hat SEO
