This is pure cartel behavior: Reddit and Google have cut a deal that freezes out all other search engines from indexing Reddit, where volunteers do essentially all the work.
This should not be legal.
It is VITAL to replace Reddit, and it will take a global village to do it. If we don't, the cartel wins.
@dangillmor Well, since I very purposefully do not use google, I guess that I will by default not use reddit, as I will apparently not get any results for them.
