Of course they are. Adding "Reddit" at the end of questions and other stuff was the best way of avoiding shitty results (Fuck you Quora).

That was one of the last ways of getting some useful results out of Google.

It depends what you were searching for. For help with Stable Diffusion or programming questions or other technical subjects, the reddit communities were actually one of the best places I could go to for answers

They still are on archuve.org. you'll get the info you need and reddit gets nothing. Win win

The issue with that is Google doesn't index IA, and I don't think it has any kind of keyword search. ~Nai
