It's a shame really. The Reddit hack really was the only way to get around all the SEO crap invading your search results.

Glad Google seems to be, at least briefly, realising the problem. People want actual answers, not useless crap designed to look like them.

I'd like to see a search engine that has a setting to just search forums. Organic user generated content is where most of the valuable information is, at least for troubleshooting/ product recommendations/ hobbies.

Certainly for niche stuff, it is one of the best ways to get any information period.
