But Reddit and SO are the only two results that give me the answers I need/want
Who the hell wants whatever the alternative to stack overflow is?? I mean, what would that even be? Misleading Quora questions? Expertsexchange pages that give wrong answers and don’t let you view it without an account? Microsoft help forums where nobody even answers the question and the thread is just people complaining about the lack of answers? Old school forums where denver_coder12 just replies to his own question with “I fixed it”?
The pre stack overflow internet sucked ass.
Reddit is like 50% of the reason Google is even useful anymore haha. So much useful, niche information.
Reddit threads are literally the only useful results half of the time.
Rest are website with copy-pasted articles that don’t help at all…trying to get you to watch their ads.
It is still a treasure trove of knowledge, accumulated over the years. I can’t see search results from reddit becoming less valuable any time soon.
honestly i use google to find reddit results…
Reddit >>> AI generated articles or bias sponsored reviews…
Well, something bad happened to Stack Overflow, they stopped publishing the CC-licensed content their users create.
StackOverflow isnt bad to read. Its just horrible to post or comment on.
I was surprised to hear people saying they get answers from reddit. I’ve never considered it a great source, for my work usually a couple solid steps below stack overflow. It was more useful as a pure link aggregator.
Reddit threads are what I look for in search results!
yes.
