Joke’s on Reddit. I’ve been blocking their results in the search engine I use for months!
I wonder if this will end up being pursued as an antitrust case. If anything, it’ll reduce traffic to Reddit from non-Google users, so hopefully that kills them off just a little faster.
Come on. Be realistic. Chrome has 70% browser market share and people are already used to tacking “Reddit” onto the end of their search queries to find useful information. If anything this will have no effect besides steering people towards Google.
People on Chrome adding Reddit to their Google searches already use Google. People not using Google who don’t search “Reddit” are going to see fewer Reddit results.
No, this won’t kill Reddit, but it certainly isn’t helping them get more traffic.

They don’t care about traffic. They care about the existing barrel of data for the data models
…I thought that was the whole point of Spez blocking other spiders.
