A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated "1 year ago".

The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: "That solved it. Thanks!"

Edit: added temporal context.

That's the intention of users deleting their staffs: making reddit less useful, and therefore, shrink its traffic.

That's the downside of having a website completely runned by the community and volunteer moderators. You mess with them, you lose half of their contents. ๐Ÿคฃ

Answers to tech problems aren't what drive reddits profits. They make way more in daily posts and memes. Deleting helpful comments hurts users way more than reddit.

[โ€“] SpaceAape 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I disagree. So many people used Google and Reddit congruently as a sort of "hack" for finding solutions quickly, not just tech based but for any and everything. Google even announced that their search has worsened since the reddit changes. For it to be noticeable by Google and enough the publicly comment on it, I'd say it was driving alot more traffic to reddit than your thinking. It also brought in non daily active users to the site, potentially turning them into daily active users.

Tldr, if this was hurting Google enough to notice, reddit is definitely feeling the pain. ๐Ÿ˜

I fix a LOT of random things for myself and as a side hustle. Google is sometimes good for that sort of thing but but adding "reddit" into the search field generally yields far better results.
