if they add support for forums I might even consider using it, but if it's just reddit, twitter, tiktok or whatever then it's not really all that useful
They’ll kill it in 3…2….
I’ll stick with Kbin
Aaaaand... It's gone...
Good - the more traffic taken away from Reddit, the better in my opinion.
The majority of people that use Google don't actually click through to the sources to read more, so if discussions are made more accessible directly in the search results, Reddit will likely notice the impact on their ad impressions
as much as i hate reddit as a corp, going to google is never a better alternative
These are just Lenses or whatever, smaller search engines had them for ages. I'm still waiting for DuckDuckGo to add them, strange that even Google was faster than them
I don't think this feature will be anything like reddit or lemmy. But I do see what they are going for.
Unless they have something like AI powered moderation, it will turn into a shit show really quickly.
I'm not sure I see what they're going for. Where are they going to get this human generated content? How are they going to keep it from being AstroTurfed or LLM?
What community is going to police it and self-moderate it? Is it going to be like Google maps reviews for places? Where there's really no discussion just kind of shouting into the void.
Is it going to be like Amazon reviews?
The whole value of Reddit threads was that you could read them and see organic discussion a real back and forth. Evaluate the earnestness of the discussion, a post by single person with no feedback it's not super helpful even on Reddit. Honestly the best results came when there is disagreement in the conversation, forcing the subject matter experts to come out from the corners and stop lurking and contribute.
Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it's technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
