Install this and exclude it from all search results.

It's still possible to search with "site:reddit.com ..."

Has it been implemented yet or are they blocking non-flagged searches? Which seems odd.

Hot take here.

I do believe in free information.

Instead of investing money in stop crawlers why do not make the data they are trying to crawl available to everyone for free so we can have a better world all together?

They're also blocking posts by users who aren't banned or even got a warning. It appears to the user as though it's been posted, but it hasn't.
