I nuked all my posts on r/vans yesterday because I got the random thought to Google image search “reddit vans [keyword/model]” and my images/posts were all over Google images. Half the time they were the 1st result, most of the time they’d be in 2rd and 3rd.

I was a big contributor on r/vans for years (different username) and there’s no question that my posts must’ve generated a lot of traffic for reddit. Not anymore! I don’t feel good about all my photos being on reddit any longer. No plans to go back there either.

I want to rebuild here, with blackjack, and hookers! It’s still very new, but I made lemmy.world/c/vans. The r/vans community and mods are great, but there’s just no going back to reddit for me. But I can now see the argument that one user doesn’t make a difference is bullshit, when it’s my posts all over search engines’ top results. Fuck you reddit!
