I think the company may never monetize its platform without angering its users and the entire premise of Reddit is user-generated content.

Yep.

Also - reddit spends 55% of it's budget on R&D?! WTAF!?!

A decent search tool is right around the corner.

[–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Unironically, yes. As part of Reddit's deal with Google, they're supposed to get access to some of Google's search tools.

But Google is crap now for searching.

....and they make SOOO much money because of it. Companies are buying into it to push their results higher using SEO words and phrases to help.

No, it's actually quite brilliant. Google results return mainly AI posts, and Reddit is now 90% AI regurgitated crap. It's a match made in hell.

Have you ever tried to find something on a corporate Google drive?

It's kind of impressive how bad Google is at search these days.
