True, it would seem though, Google tackles a more complex problem, while Reddit or the like deals with its own specific data that has a predefined format that they know of.
Looking at what other users clicked on after doing similar searches.
Yeah, I feel Reddit just doesn't account for these things, because requires way more work maybe to add as weights, if I am thinking of it correctly
Yeah that's a great thought, focusing on the author. Like in that long thread with another user, they also identified entertaining "punditry" instead may be more useful.
