      This would be so fucking annoying, I don’t use reddit day to day anymore but it’s still a useful research tool when I see results from it on Google. I don’t hate their search feature quite as much as some but I still don’t want to use it most of the time.

      This seems so dumb for them to do, I feel like having their content listed on search engines is s major advantage they have over Facebook et al.

        If they block Google, they will likely block DDG an every other search engine.

        You’ll probably need to be logged in to see anything with rate limits so bots can’t crawl the site.

          Well, that depends on how they implement the block, if its by domain or a blanket block (which would make sense, but I’ve seen weirder shit done online)
