I've been adding "reddit" to a lot of my searches for a while now. Then I see stuff like this:
The first page results for some of my best ranking keywords are all quora posts, reddit posts, very old forum posts, and very old and poorly written blogs.
Pretty much John is stating that the website in the SERPs were trash and people were adding "reddit" to the end of their queries and so this update simply fixed that:
I've seen multiple times that people admit on this forum that they add reddit cause results are trash, so here we are.
Now are the websites with 100 ADs, pop-ups, interstitials, no images, and low quality trash? Yeah. But the other side of thinking is that Google for a long time has been degrading the SERPs so low quality websites were the results, now we are forced to put in "reddit" or in my case "stackoverflow" to get results we want.
They seem to be fixing the symptoms instead of trying to cure the reason for the pain/headache. But maybe the websites dropping really do have bad user experiences.
Either way, if you only have Google traffic, you answer to Google.
