One of the great joys of working on a search engine is that you get to reverse engineer SEO spam, and overall study how it evolves over time.
I’ve been noticing the search engine spam strategy of adding ‘reddit’ to page titles for a few years now, but it feels like it’s been growing a lot recently. I don’t think it’s actually working, but it’s so cute that they are trying.
Makes me sad to think that this will soon be about as useful as “site:facebook.com” with the way Reddit is going.
Yeah maybe giving corpo trash exclusivity over the sum total of human knowledge wasnt the best idea?
