Comment on Annoyed Redditors tanking Google Search results illustrates perils of AI scrapers
OneRedFox@beehaw.org 4 weeks agoOccasionally when I’m searching for something, I’ll check out some Reddit links and honestly it’s a crapshoot as to whether half of the comments have been deleted or not. Useful search results are getting to be a pain to come by.

It is rough isn’t it? It used to be that you’d get the forum style answer, now most of the people who wrote those deleted their accounts.
Pre-2019 searches that resulted in deleted comments happened, but rarely. Post Exodus it is now very flippant on the results you’ll get.
