Reddit threads are literally the only useful results half of the time.
Rest are website with copy-pasted articles that don't help at all...trying to get you to watch their ads.
Who the hell wants whatever the alternative to stack overflow is?? I mean, what would that even be? Misleading Quora questions? Expertsexchange pages that give wrong answers and don't let you view it without an account? Microsoft help forums where nobody even answers the question and the thread is just people complaining about the lack of answers? Old school forums where denver_coder12 just replies to his own question with "I fixed it"?
The pre stack overflow internet sucked ass.
It is still a treasure trove of knowledge, accumulated over the years. I can't see search results from reddit becoming less valuable any time soon.
Reddit >>> AI generated articles or bias sponsored reviews....
Reddit is like 50% of the reason Google is even useful anymore haha. So much useful, niche information.
Reddit threads are what I look for in search results!
Well, something bad happened to Stack Overflow, they stopped publishing the CC-licensed content their users create.
Both are massive and useful sources of information, and their loss is and would be a tragedy.
The ideal imo would be their CEOs not driving the sites into the ground for power and profit. But, capitalism is what it is.
honestly i use google to find reddit results...
yes.
