    Just curious. Why are Reddit results (or Stack Overflow) not good when searching? They are usually the highest quality content, imo.

    I also add “-site:domain.com” to filter stuff out when I need to.

      Personally it boils down to two things:

      1. A majority of SO answers are duplicates, and it’s a 50% chance the answer will actually work for my use case
      2. Reddit responses are opinions, usually without sources, and I want the actual source with as little opinion as possible

      Most of the time I do end up using “-site:reddit.com” for that exact purpose.
