Reddit Blocks Search Engines in Its Robots.txt and What This Means for Reddit Parasite SEO

[@artosbear]

I'm so happy that the internet stopped making it easy to search message boards and forced that kind of result to reddit then also damaged that as well

And nothing of value was lost

[@techobserver8578]

I've been on Reddit since about a year after its inception (mid-2000's), and as of two or three months ago I am done with Reddit.
Early to the party, late to leave.
*I've had a long feeling the reddit was going to replace the google search, bc for years I found myself typing "reddit" into my google querries.

It's heavy with the weight of responsibility for me bringing the best marketing information on the Internet.

Reddit is open. Open for business.

[@joshs.6155]

I'm confused on what actually is different. I just tried all of those search engines mentioned and every single one had links to Reddit, even without putting Reddit in the search field.

[@buildinpublic]

It's possible their caches have not been fully wiped. I've seen that with Google.

[@artosbear]

Google hates seeing AI lol? This is basically their fault!! My gos

Does anyone know how often he does this show? I don't think I've heard him say

[@buildinpublic]

Actually, it is daily. I probably should say this more so that people realize.

[@buildinpublic]

Yes. All search engines other than Google.
