Uhhhhh....who thought that was going to be a bright idea? Google is probably the single biggest traffic draw for Reddit.
That's literally been life for me for so long when I'm looking up quite a bit of different things. "Blah blah reddit"
They seem to intend to make the content on Reddit more disposable, which is a feat unto itself. Technical forum usage will precipitously drop if no one can find it. Or they just endlessly repost it? What an odd decision.
