Great opportunity for the fediverse to provide better search results
DuckDuckGo and Ecosia soars
“We are selective about who we work with and trust with large-scale access to Reddit content.”
Sells everyone’s contributions to Google while blocking lesser evils
DuckDuckGo, Bing, Mojeek, and other search engines are not returning full Reddit results any more.
and neither does reddit’s own search tool
lol.
did it ever?
GOTEM!
“Reddit signs historic billion-dollar deal with Reddit for access to their own data set”
I see a lot of people saying something along the lines of “their network; their rules”.
With this in mind, it’s still shitty that they frame this as a compatibility issue when in reality they just want to track you.
They should be forced to say that they disallowed this private relay thing in order to obtain more info about their customers, because that’s significantly more accurate and truthful.
TBH I hated when I got reddit results on DDG because they’re blocking access from VPN
“Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things,” Huffman said. “We are not in the business of giving that away for free.”
Typical CEO monetizing the hard work and passion of others. Get fucked, Steve.
I love how this is nowhere to be found on Reddit. Because that blackout really worked
Wow you’re not kidding
I mean, it is partly our fault for heading towards them, what the heck happened with the forums!?
On a second thought, probably not the best solution, the forum that I used to visit often as a kid, rarely for piracy reasons but chatting and whatnot was a Spanish forum called “espalnds”, and it got closed because of piracy and I suffered a lot because of it :(
Doesn’t the EU have anything to say about this? Fair competition and whatnot…
