This would be a huge blow. I use Google a ton to find relevant content on Reddit. It's still a useful way to find helpful comments even after the mass exodus and deleting of old comments. This seems like it would be much more harmful.
I hope they do. Finding irrelevant reddit threads from years ago is a constant annoyance.
ChatGPT, define "delusion of grandeur" for me!
No you can't. But hey if you wanna make my search results good again, you do you.
Google also has a robots.txt rule to block Bard why not use that? I use it.
