Reddit communities going private has impacted Google search results and Google has noticed

Google has noticed that its users have noticed how shitty search results have become now that a big chunk of Reddit is gone. CNBC got its hands on audio of a meeting where Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's senior vice president in charge of search "admitted users are unhappy when employees asked about the Reddit blackouts and their impact on results". Further detailing that they're gonna try and remedy this by pushing the new Perspectives feature harder, which is designed to surface "long and short form videos, images and written posts that people have shared on discussion boards, Q&A sites and social media platforms". Google is a wasteland now. Its search results are largely useless these days. I've been using and paying for Kagi for the last few months and rarely use Google now. Get on it.
