    I wonder why it sucked so much? I’m no expert in terms of crafting a search engine, but Reddit has not lacked funds for some years now

      I always assumed that it increased engagement. Can’t find what you’re searching for? Put up a post asking (even though someone’s already asked that question 1,000 times).

        Step 1: Ask question on Reddit.
        Step 2: Be told to Google it.
        Step 3: Google it and click link that takes you back to Reddit where someone is asking the same question and being told to Google it.
