    It’s crazy, I never noticed before. I wanted to search something about a game yesterday and the first five hits were Reddit threads, the others were clickbait. And I didn’t even append “reddit” as a search term. It was a simple search.

      There must be other terms. I don’t know them but there should be other ways of searching organic content outside of reddit.

        You can append -reddit to your search and it hides all non reddit resultsy idk if that was what you meant

          no, i know that, what i meant was, specifically, to search for organic content, which is the value of Reddit, that it is content made by users for users, not by SEO clickbait corporations filling the internet with mediocre content. My idea is that there should be other keywords that are not site:reddit.com that also provide a certain increase in quality results for your questions.

            Yeah I kind of overread/forgot about the word organic in your comment but i agree, thanks for clearing that up
