the company may block Google and Bing’s search crawlers, which means *new Reddit posts wouldn’t show up in search results

If something's indexed, it's indexed. If something new pops up and the crawler is blocked, then yeah, not indexed.

The vast majority of shit of relevant reddit content showing up in my ddg/google searches, has been at least a year old. And certainly nothing since 31 Jun.

So in my use case, I won't notice a goddamn difference. What a bunch of maroons.
