They can still show some old results, but reddit only allows Google to crawl reddit. Part of their AI deal.

yeah i mean i know my workarounds like old.reddit and certain third party apps that still work, but most users aren’t doing that.

Reddit’s business isn’t a forum, that’s just part of the product extraction process
