Not just of reddit but also for some reason Google (at least for me) often recommends reddit and ranks reddit posts quite highly, so this enshitifies google too.
Google's demise due to socialmedia walled gardens was kind of understandable, but their decision to lean into Reddit and make themselves extra vulnerable to the whims of a corporation they don't own, is entirely in them.
i think you have reddit and googles position reversed, reddit is pretty much dependant on google almost entirely, they put thier search bar on the top, allows reddit to use its v3 captch3 to catch "bots/ban" , and then thier sudden appearance of using AI to moderate the site.
When I search for something I often get suggestions for "search term" reddit.
Google have chosen to send people to reddit If reddit make those results unusable that a big fuck up.
