This feels like a fairly desperate attempt to get Google to pay them something
Ding ding ding ding!! It’s telling that this announcement came out after it was disclosed that Google pays Apple 18-20 BILLION A YEAR to be the default search engine on IOS. Spez is trying to tap into that.
Boy oh boy, think about how valuable being the default on iPhones must be if Google is willing to pay that much money.
That’s a lot of profit off selling people’s data.
He’s a greedy little shit who’d rather run the entire platform into the ground for a buck than do anything useful with his life.
He could’ve done great things. He could’ve gone down in history shoulder to shoulder with some of the big guys, instead, he’s been a snivelling backstabbing little fungus from day 1.
I don’t wanna be a buzzkill, but if the FTC/DOJ kill the Apple/Google deal that’s going to impact Mozilla too, which really needs the money from Google as well.

Where’s Jeeves when you need him? 🤡
I only use HotBot.
Is somebody going to tell them?
Lol, no.
Literally the one reason I still use Reddit is because appending site:reddit.com gives me actual results. Reddits’ built-in search results are utter dog shit and you cant find anything. They’d just be shooting themselves in the foot for blocking Google
Good. Now search results will actually be usable again.

do Reddit admins think they have any kind of search function without using Google and site:reddit.com?
They think they have a great app without third party developers, so probably. :/
The reddit search was broken for years
This is a terrible moment for the internet. When people look for hobby information the loss of information accessibility it might be painful, but not critical. But there is tons of information on rare diseases, drugs and supplements which can be absolutely vital for the tiny minority which is affected by rare genetic conditions.
Hope they crash and burn
Yet another stupid idea from Reddit.

I made the mistake of checking out the new homepage design, it is absolutely horrific. No idea why anybody thought it was a good idea.
It was so bloated with filler features like why does any normal users want to “promote their content”??
Bold move Cotton…but idk how many more “bold” moves he can afford.
In the bin with you Reddit
are all these execs on crack ?
they’re at least on cocaine, could be crack cocaine!
they are fueled by the inflated egos and rage of their usersbase… lets see how long lasts…
Desperate for cash. The free money (low interest rates) is drying up and the modern mantra of business in America is sustained growth for all eternity so they got to squeeze everything until it pops.
How long until then?
Soon 😈
