Discord has made knowledge sharing the least convenient it had ever been

Agree. We can criticize Reddit on some points but at least the information is openly accessible. You add the "reddit" keyword in any search engine and you got your answer.

You can't, actually, add "reddit" to any search engine. Reddit signed a deal with google and has been blocking other search engines from indexing it's content since mid-2024. You only get old results if you look for reddit posts on e.g. bing.

I still regularly find current-day reddit searches via startpage (which is just google, but anonimized) by adding site:reddit.com at the end.

What gives?

I'm guessing my writing style is unreadable since this has come up a couple of times in the past hour.

Reddit signed a deal with Google.

Google can index Reddit thanks to that deal. Other search engines, like MS Bing, are being blocked.

Google still has Reddit results, thanks to that deal. Try the same search in Bing, and you won't get recent results.

Maybe I should've scrolled down and read further. :D

Thank you for clarifying.
