‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google
Reddit is apparently seeking to strike deals with big AI companies.

Uhhhhh....who thought that was going to be a bright idea? Google is probably the single biggest traffic draw for Reddit.
Did Elon secretly buy Reddit?
Funny thing, spez expressed in interviews that he liked Leon's philosophy behind a lot of decision over Twitter.
So there's a lot of truth to that
Edit: I'm gonna tear my autocorrect a new one. It's "Elon Musk" and I hope that's clear.
Leon schmuck
Melon Tusk
Noel Musk: "HERP DERP I'M AN OXYMORON!"
Greedy Pigboy: "WE OXYMORONS STAND TOGETHER! please notice me senpai Enol Musk..."
Yep. That’s when I quit reddit
Probably working towards his own No Money Miracle.
That's literally been life for me for so long when I'm looking up quite a bit of different things. "Blah blah reddit"
They seem to intend to make the content on Reddit more disposable, which is a feat unto itself. Technical forum usage will precipitously drop if no one can find it. Or they just endlessly repost it? What an odd decision.
If they cut Google, I will literally never go to Reddit again. I probably hit a couple pages a week from Google search, and that's it, but that will be zero pages if they are truly this dumb.
Spez is going full Musk. It's actually insane. Like... Holy shit.
I'm praying for Reddit's downfall here, because if companies are able to get away with this shit the internet is going to get oh so much worse in the near future.
But at the same time, it sucks. I still use Reddit for episode discussions of shows I watch (which don't exist here on Lemmy, especially for older shows). I don't want those to go away without some replacement. Even if Lemmy did suddenly start getting lots of active episode discussions, it's not really possible to backfill them for older shows and the site is still too small and hard to index, it seems.
Incidentally, google is the only way I access those, since I no longer browse Reddit normally.
