    People say this all the time, but I search prolifically and have literally never had to do this to get a relevant result top 4.

    What are you guys doing, using full sentences with puffery like you’re talking to the Enterprise or something?

      Have you never searched for a problem where you wanted to hear actual people talk about the solution? If I don’t suffix it with “Reddit” I just get SEO spam/AI generated articles which may or may not actually be useful. Usually I want to know what real people think about the issue.

      100% agree. While I think it might be easier to get to a relevant result more quickly in certain cases, I’ve never needed to suffix reddit to my searches to find what I need. Often reddit hits crop up but not because I looked for them specifically.
