I was wondering if the bump was universal or if Google just thought I always wanted to see Reddit results based on my browsing history.

Also, every time Quora comes up it amazes me that it overtook Yahoo Answers. It’s like Tik Tok vs Vine

I really don’t get how Quora gets ranked so highly in search results when it’s one of the worst sites I’ve ever seen. They somehow managed to fuck up the UI on a Q&A forum. And the answers are wrong like 30% of the time.

30% is generously low

But I'm definitely ordering that corn cleaner post haste.
