The last I read concerning Reddit is they are blocking most search engines from crawling them, except their paying buddies like Google, which is somewhat questionable to put it mildly.
Found the article I read: Slashdot - Google's Exclusive Reddit Access
I mean, thank god for that. Google is essentially useless unless you stick "reddit" at the end. De-indicise Reddit and Google becomes essentially useless.
It's still bad though. The fact that there is a special case just for Google, and search engines have to pay to indicise Reddit is egregious. I miss the plain text web... :/
For me it's quite the opposite. I try to avoid google, because of many annoyances. One is the outdated reddit results it displays with priority. If I use it, I usually have to switch it to verbatim and add -reddit to get decent results.
It depends on what you're searching I guess.
I mostly search for solutions to weird problems or for product reviews/recommendations from actual users, so adding "reddit" works great for that.
