Google's become largely useless in recent years due to SEO spam and autgenerated content. Appending
reddit
at the end of a query at least helped get some actual responses from human beingsim an RTFM and RTFC fan, never noticed a difference except when id dip into something new for the first time. Feels, and annoying.
It was very useful for queries along the lines of "which x is the best", "which x to buy", etc. You can guarantee that there was a discussion about pretty much anything on Reddit

site:reddit.com
to search queries. Avoids spammy articles and gives you actual discussions with legitimate dissenting opinions.
